During this tour four pig farms in the south of the Netherlands will be visited. These farms have all got special facilities to show part of their pigs to the public. This means that we will NOT actually enter the herd. This also means that not all aspects of the husbandry systems are visible and accessible for visitors. However, the herd owners or their representatives will be present to answer any questions that you might have. A specialised pig health veterinarian from The Netherlands will accompany the tour to answer any questions that you might have.

The fee for this tour is € 75,00 (exclusive of 19% VAT) per person and includes transport, lunch and admission fees. The maximum number of participants is 50, the minimum is 20.

This post conference tour has been made possible with the contribution of PVV.
