Pigs Technical Support
Advisers based at Greenmount Campus, translate the latest research findings and communicate these to the industry through Business Development Groups and technical publications and press articles.
Farm Innovation Visits
Farm Innovation Visits (FIVs), provide farmers with the opportunity to visit farm businesses in other parts of the UK or Europe to learn about new innovations.
Business Development Groups
Business Development Groups (BDGs) meet regularly with BDG training events held on members’ farms and for the pig and poultry sectors, in hotel and college meeting rooms due to biosecurity. The scheme uses a group approach to improve the technical efficiency of farm businesses.
