Improving pig and poultry production is the focus of a new event taking place near Edinburgh in January.

Organised by Scotland’s Rural College and the Moredun Research Institute, the ‘Pigs and Poultry - Optimising Production’ event will highlight new developments in vaccine development, animal welfare and nutrition to help commercial operators make use of the latest research.

Alongside researchers from SRUC and Moredun are guest speakers Andy McGowan, Chief Executive - Scottish Pig Producers; Robert Gooch, Chief Executive - British Free Range Egg Producers Association; and Máire Burnett, Technical Director - British Poultry Council.

The event is free to attend and takes place at the Moredun Research Institute, near Edinburgh, on 16 January 2020.
