The trials which will last around eight weeks are using
five pens overall with the pigs in three pens being given the new trial product
with the pigs in the other two pens being the control. The pigs start the
trial when they reach 25 kilos in weight and finish when they are
50 kilos. The finishing house is straw based, no castration is used and the
stock are kept in stable family groups.
"These are very significant trials for our company," added Kiotechagil’s Technical Sales Manager Ian Cockshott. "At the end of these trials we will be able to assess the improvement in the animals’ health and also the value to farmers in terms of creating overall cost savings. Facilities like these at Plumpton College are crucial for us as we develop, assess and bring to market new pioneering products."
