Teagasc Pig Welfare Workshops

The Teagasc Pig Development Department is running a number of Pig Welfare Workshops in early April.

Under Pig Welfare Legislation, every farm must have someone who has attended a training course in pig welfare. It is also a requirement for the Bord Bia Quality Assurance Scheme.

The workshops will be held at Teagasc Moorepark on April 1, Teagasc Tullamore on April 2 and Teagasc Ballyhaise on April 3.

If you are interested in attending or want to send someone on the course please contact Charlotte Charlotte.DuToit@teagasc.ie to book your place.
