Producing pigs at high temperatures
This episode of the podcast series travels to Africa, to learn what pig production is like in a country where temperatures can rise above 40°C. Odendall runs a farrow-to-finish farm of just over 4,650 sows. The owning company has a farm division as well an own slaughterhouse with processing section.
