Animal Farming

Pig

We deal with current topics, solutions and husbandry concepts that are relevant for pig farmers and ensure their future viability.

We see ourselves as a professional network, provider of ideas and solution provider for current and long-term issues in the pig value chain from the perspective of the farms. The members of the committee therefore primarily come from practice and consulting. Our content focuses on the topics of sustainability, husbandry, marketing, economics and communication. We regularly consider topicality and future relevance when addressing the topics.
