This is the podcast for anyone involved in the pig sector who wants to hear first-hand from key industry players on the big issues faced by the sector. To kick off the series, our host, Ingrid Potter, considers the role of data collection on UK pig farms. Ingrid is joined by Marc Cox, from Agrisyst, and Carlos Pineiro from PigChamp Pro Europe to discuss the benefits which data, when used correctly, can bring to a farm by increasing productivity and profitability.  During this episode, we also consider the struggles that UK pig farms are coming up against when using data on-farm and why data isn’t being used to its full potential.
