Webinar Price - £20
This webinar brings together farmers Kate Bradshaw and Bethan Morgan, each sharing their own holistic system for rearing happy, resilient pigs. Alongside veterinary surgeon Chris Aukland, they explore the foundations of robust health as well as its challenges. From stress and skin issues to diet, environment and the weather, they discuss the natural health approaches they use on their respective farms to prevent problems and maintain health and vitality.
This is an informal, conversational session with plenty of time for questions. Includes the live webinar and lifetime access to the recording.
What You Can Expect:
Drawing on their own farm systems and day-to-day experience, Kate and Bethan will share how their approaches accommodate the natural needs of their pigs to support strong immunity, good development, calm behaviour and overall wellbeing. Together, the panel will discuss the foundations of robust pig health, including nutrition, housing, environment, genetics, stress reduction and seasonal management.
The session will also explore some of the common challenges faced by pigs – from skin conditions and parasites, to the effects of weather, diet changes and environmental stressors; plus how a preventative, holistic approach incorporating homeopathic remedies, native plants and a natural environment builds resilience. Chris Aukland will bring a veterinary perspective to the discussion, helping bridge good husbandry and health management with treatment options for when problems arise.
