Swine Management and Reproduction Education - The pork production industry is a major componenet of the Minnesota economy. Minnesota has the third largest pork industry in the nation. The Minnesota pork industry is distinctly different from other Midwestern states. The willingness and progressive nature of Minnesota pork producers to cooperate and network together and consider new technologies has been one of the primary reasons why pig production in Minnesota is increasing while production in other states is declining. The Extension Swine Team works cooperatively across several departments and with the College of Veterinary Medicine to bring University research to a diverse audience.
