As a kid, colorful blocks are put together when building a tower or building. Each block is necessary to maintain the structure design and finalize the finished product. We may not be building a fun colorful tower anymore, but rather a successful business and healthy pig farm. Animal welfare, biosecurity, a secure feed source, a safe water source, well maintained ventilation, and I can go on — all building blocks necessary to establishing pig care on farm. Separately we look at each aspect of pig care (or building block), but together, it builds upon effective pig care. Join us for this issue as we will dig deep into each ”building block” of pig care, so that you too can build and maintain an effective pig farm!
