The Northern Ireland Science Park (NISP) CONNECT’s search for ‘the next big thing’ has concluded with the innovative software, PiGIS™, coming away with a £3,000 prize for best product in the ‘Digital Media and Software’ category.

This online software allows pig producers to assess and analyse the quality of pig carcasses produced on their farm and benchmark their data with others in the industry. Since the launch of PiGIS™ in Northern Ireland two years ago, it has been widely used by both producers and processers to help quantify pig carcase quality and in turn make informed management decisions. The PiGIS™ development team Mark Hawe, Erica Chisholm and Mark Browne accepted the award on behalf of the joint venture between the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) and the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI).
