Better Pork Featured Articles

Better Pork magazine is published bimonthly. After each edition is published, we share featured articles online.



Gene Editing

The interest in the possibilities offered by gene editing is growing – in both human medicine and in the livestock world.



Animal Welfare

Animal welfare is defined as “the physical and mental state of an animal in relation to the conditions in which it lives and dies.”

Avoiding Scammers

Education is the best way to keep your farm business safe. Farms, like every other business, are at risk of being targeted by scammers.









Bugs On Board!

Though hitchhikers with their thumbs out could pose a threat, it's those unseen stowaways that can really be a handful.
