Teagasc Pig Advisor, Emer McCrum, joins Ciarán Carroll on the latest episode of the Pig Edge podcast to discuss some of the main topics and talking points from the 2022 Teagasc National Pig Farmers’ Conference. 

Producers, farm staff and industry colleagues were welcomed back to an in-person event this year, the first since 2019 due to Covid 19 restrictions. 

However, the conference was set against a very difficult backdrop for producers who by that point had endured 14 months of a crisis, the likes of which have been the worst in living memory. 

The conference therefore, was built around the current climate with papers covering the technical to the financial all relating back to topical issues within the pig industry. 

Emer and Ciarán discuss the key points of interest that can be taken from the conference for producers and staff.
