Virtual Tour of the Teagasc Moorepark Pig Research Facility - Virtual Pig Week

On day one of Virtual Pig Week, which took place on Tuesday 20th October, Tomás Ryan, Farm Manager at Teagasc Moorepark Pig Research Facility brought us on a tour of the unit. This was followed by a live panel discussion, hosted by Emer McCrum, Teagasc Pig Development Department Specialist Advisor.

Tomás walked us through the 200 sow unit, from the breeding building to the finisher building stopping along the way to speak about some of the farm practices at Teagasc Moorepark and highlight facilities found in the unit which aid both production and research. This was followed by a live panel discussion which was hosted by Emer McCrum, Teagasc Pig Development Department Specialist Advisor.
