PigLink
PigLink is a new concept in Australia, effectively using modern communications technology to supplement the more traditional ‘producer seminars’. These seminars link back to the profitability of the pig unit while still embracing the up-to-date science underlying the presentation. The seminars are available on the PigLink page but to get full value from them we encourage you to register for the online seminars.
