Developing Pig Expertise

Be the first to take part in our new training programme.

The Developing Pig Expertise (DPE) programme is being piloted to provide professional development to people who advise pig producers, as well as to upskill new entrants to the industry.

We aim to recruit 15 professionals from across the industry, including consultants and advisors, vets, academics and allied industry representatives, who will take part in five practical workshops between July and December 2019.

The programme has been influenced by the successful AHDB Beef & Lamb Developing Expertise programmes, our educational strategy and the existing knowledge exchange offer across the industry.

Why take part?

Would you like to be able to add even more value to the support you currently provide to pig farmers? 

This is an opportunity to develop your understanding of how value is created along the entire supply chain and share knowledge and experience with others working in the industry.

Some of the expected benefits to you and the industry include:

• Improved understanding of the economic impact of business issues faced by pig farmers
• Peer-to-peer learning 
• Hear about the latest tools and resources available to you 
• The opportunity for new advisers to network and learn from existing experts
• Improved joint working within the sector
• Increased pool of experts working in the sector
