Pork: Effective management of feed on farm

Feed is not straightforward and accounts for a huge percentage of the costs of rearing livestock, of which farmers have little or no control.

In this pork-focused edition of AHDB’s Food and Farming podcast, Vikki Campbell, Senior Market Specialist Manager (Arable) AHDB, Carol Davis, Lead Analyst - Farm Economics AHDB, Dr Phil Baynes, Managing Director Baynes Nutrition Ltd., and Patrick Loten, Knowledge Exchange Manager (South and Central) Pork AHDB chat with host John Bates about effective ways to manage feed. They discuss facts on the impact of the war in Ukraine on feed, price volatility, practical ways to improve feed efficiency and on-farm storage and so much more.
