In this episode we focus on welfare training for the pig sector. Our guests explain and discuss a new training platform that we’ve developed with the wider pig industry, and which will be launched later this month. The first module will cover moving and handling of pigs and will become part of Red Tractor standards in November 2021.
Listen to the episode to find out what this training will involve, who will need to complete it and why it has been developed.
