Teagasc and IFA join forces with pig research and advice programme
The programme will allow Teagasc give Irish pig producers advice, research and education across a range of issues. The funding for the programme is provided through a pig producer levy.
Ciarán Carroll, head of the Teagasc pig development department, said: “The programme will enable Teagasc to provide a broader range of services to the sector. The levy will be used to fund two new advisers, two new researchers and a technician. Teagasc and IFA have been working on this programme for a few years, so it’s great to see it come to fruition”.
