PIG getting nationwide coverage
The Pork Information Gateway (PIG), a new
information network to provide pork producers with an easy way to get answers to
everyday challenges in pork production, is gradually becoming available
throughout the USA.
PIG is part of the US Pork Center of Excellence, based at
Iowa State University. The
system is a virtual library where pork producers can find information in 16
categories related to swine and pork production.
The library includes peer-reviewed information from leading swine
researchers in 200 fact sheets. The library is also featuring more than 2,000
questions and answers, 550 glossary definitions, 250 reference documents, and
100 pig photos in its image library.
Producers can log on and search for answers to their pork-related
questions. If they are unable to find what they are looking for, producers also
can submit a question to be answered by the USPCE.
