Tour of an indoor farrow to finish pig unit: Northampton

Ben Golledge, a production manager in South West England, will be giving us a tour of his pig unit, including the new dry sow house, the service house and the farrowing house.

As he shows us around, Ben will talk about sow management pre- and post-weaning and explain the feeding regime in the farrowing house and how they use milk cups.

Also, we’ll have Hugh Crabtree, Pork sector council member, on hand to take you through what’s been happening in the Pork sector in the past year and what AHDB has done to meet the levy. He’ll also be on hand to answer questions on the proposed levy increase and how this will directly benefit your business, the Pork sector and the wider industry.

Why attend?

• Get a better understanding of how a modern pig unit works
• Take away useful tips about the products Ben uses on his unit
• Learn about the potential levy increase and ask any questions you may have
• Catch up with other pig producers in the region

The meeting is suitable for unit managers and their staff.

A meal will be served at 7:00pm.
