About the Webinar
Organic commodity sales have increased continuously, but organic pig production has declined in recent years in the U.S. In this webinar, we will discuss challenges in organic pig production, including parasites, pre-weaning mortality, and costs of feed and bedding. Then, we will explore strategies to address these challenges based on our research at the University of Minnesota and in the Midwestern Region.
