The Pig Clinic: Sharing advice with SA pig keepers in local communities

At the beginning of April 2022, it was decided that a new series of short video clips would be filmed by various veterinarians in South Africa to assist and support pig keepers in local communities with some of the challenges they face in rearing pigs.

Many of the topics have been carefully selected from the conversations and requests for advice that have been taking place on social media among the various pig keepers. These short clips have been created to answer some of the questions and speak into the topics that have been discussed on these platforms, and include advice on feeding, moving pigs, farrowing issues, vaccination information, and what to do with sick pigs.

These will also be distributed through the SAPPO social media platforms.
