Seasonal infertility in pig production

Head of Knowledge Transfer for the Teagasc Pig Development Department, Ciarán Carroll joins Amy Quinn on this episode of The Pig Edge to discuss the topic of seasonal infertility in pig production. Ciarán firstly talks through what exactly seasonal fertility is and how it presents itself. He then discusses what measures pig producers should look at to minimise the potential effects over the coming months. He also touches on some of the most relevant research that has been carried out on the topic. The key message from this episode is that now is the time to do some investigation and to plan ahead to best prevent or mitigate the effects of seasonal infertility.
