Three new video resources were added to the Pork Information Gateway (PIG) to aid producers who focus on raising pigs using alternative methods of production. Two videos focus on biosecurity and one on sourcing feed.

Biosecurity:

Sourcing Feed:

“The Pork Information Gateway offers extensive resources for producers, educators, Extension staff and even students,” said Beverly Durgan, director of Extension at the University of Minnesota and U.S. Pork Center of Excellence (USPCE) board of director chairman. “The new videos are the perfect addition to the online library, especially at a time when producers are strengthening their biosecurity and sourcing their feed more strictly.”

The scripts for the videos were completed in partnership with North Carolina State University and Iowa State University and funded by the USPCE. PIG, which is managed by the USPCE, is a FREE online resource library for producers, educators, industry professionals and youth.

“The biosecurity videos demonstrate how important such things as a line of separation are,” said Chelsey Van Genderen, USPCE program manager. “The other video depicts what a producer should look for when sourcing the ingredients for their feed. Understanding the importance in these areas can help make producers better caretakers of their pigs.”

These resources are a great starting point for alternative, small or beginning farmers, Van Genderen noted. They add to the existing fact sheets, how-to guides and videos already available on the PIG on a variety of topics.

The Pork Information Gateway is a FREE resource for the U.S. pork industry. The library provides the industry with fact sheets, how-to guides, references and videos that cover all aspects of the pork industry.
