This week, we hear from pig farmer Shane McAuliffe, who talks about what has been happening on farm since his last video, along with his upcoming plans.

Topics discussed in these videos includes:

  • The process of weaning.
  • Protecting against the spread of pathogens.
  • Vaccinating.
  • Dietary requirements.
  • Environmental enrichments and its importance in reducing stress.

    • If you have any questions for any of our case study farmers, feel free to email your questions to studyguidevideos@farmersjournal.ie.

    Throughout the 2020-2021 school year, the Irish Farmers Journal will be releasing videos from each of our case study farmers where they will give us an update on their on-farm progress.

    By the end of the school year in 2021, each student who signs up to this year’s study guides will have access to five sector-by-sector mini case studies.

    You can visit www.farmersjournal.ie/agsci for full details on how to sign up to this year’s programme or email agsci@farmersjournal.ie.
