Pig Management Program

Description

  • How to reach more than 30 weaned piglets per sow per year?
  • And how to do it in a sustainable way – taking care of environment and animal welfare?

Training and education is the direct way to achieve sustainable productivity.

During one week in Denmark you will be guided through the whole pig industry in Denmark and see the newest technologies and most efficient farms.

The program will also focus on sustainability - saving energy on farm level and production of energy by biogas, wind and straw.

Danish pig producers have the highest productivity in the world. danishknowhow® offers specialists and farm managers to go to Denmark for coaching, lectures and visits to farms with up to 34 weaned piglets per sow per year.

Duration of program is one week for a group of 15 persons. Price includes transport, board and lodging from EUR 1.500 per person.

Going to Denmark will give you new knowledge, new ideas and inspiration to improve your future results.
