Day-to-day operating brief

What Pig Farmer work looks like in practice

An employed Pig Farmer manages a pig enterprise across breeding or farrowing, rearing, finishing, feeding, housing, health and movement. Because the title can imply ownership, terms should identify employer-owned animals, buildings and equipment and distinguish daily management from reserved sale, breeding, veterinary and capital decisions. The contract should cover units and biosecurity zones, rota, staff supervision, welfare checks, mortality, medicines and veterinary plans, ventilation alarms, feed systems, loading, movement records, suppliers, budgets and performance reporting.

  • Monitor welfare health feeding reproduction and environment.
  • Coordinate authorised treatments veterinary work and movements.
