Saddle back pigs and man get close - photo courtesy of C Sainsbury-Plaice (2003)Organic pig production aims to produce healthy, good quality food in an ecologically responsible way, for which the farmer gets a fair return.

The organic approach is designed to deliver positive health throughout soils, plants and crops through to the animal, avoiding the need for agrochemicals and routine antibiotics contributing positively to the environment and wildlife. Organic farmers apply management practices that aim to maintain optimum herd health.
