Plumpton College: The New Pig unit

Farmers Weekly visits Plumpton College to see its new state-of-the-art pig unit. The pig farm is a commercial business which also gives students best-practice training in stock routines, husbandary, the lastest technology and veterinary care.

I had the opportunity to watch this go up. Amazing! As an agriculture student at Plumpton. This new pig unit is way nicer than the old pig unit.

What happens to the waste product? Removing some of the water would be positive to produce a thick slurry or pellet that can be sold on with fertilizer prices hitting £1000 Ton!!!
