The UK Pig Industry Welfare Training platform launched March 1, with the first module focusing on the moving and handling of pigs. Everyone involved in the care, moving, and handling of pigs on farm needs to complete the training by August 31, 2022, as part of Red Tractor standards.
On successful completion of the training, a certificate will be issued that can be saved for Red Tractor audits and on PigPro, the industry’s online training record. Producers can find the training module at ahdbpork.vbms.co.uk/store
The online training was developed by AHDB in collaboration with Red Tractor, the NPA, the Pig Veterinary Society, the Pig Health and Welfare Council, and pig producers. The course and website development costs have been funded by the levy.
The moving and handling course is the first module to be released on the platform, with further subjects likely to be released over future years.
