Last Wednesday 4/28 our Animal Science had a tour at Borgic Farms. Students were able to tour the Sow farm that house roughly 12,000 pigs. They raise roughly 450,000 market pigs for the pork industry and are a Family owned and ran company. They saw management and care practices, reproductive processes of Artificial Insemination (AI), farrowing & weaning process. We had 8 students try and pull piglets from sows in the farrowing barns! Half were successful, but proud of them for trying something new! They learned a lot and we enjoyed the day as a class connecting knowledge learned in class with real world principles.
