Of interest to pin breeders
A display aimed at demonstrating the value of good breeding and feeding is to be staged in the pig pavilion by the Canterbury section of the Pig Breeders' Association, in association with the Pork Industry Council.
Of particular interest to farmers will be a model of a modem boar testing station, along with the latest developments in pig housing.
New Zealand’s original pig, the Captain Cooker, will be shown beside the latest importation, the Welsh pig.
For the benefit of children, a pig family has been “arranged.” It will comprise a sow, with a multi-suckled litter, each Ciglet being of a different reed.
On Thursday and Friday there will be a demonstration of the ultra-sonic fat testing machine. This appraises the depth of back fat on the live pig.
