Can openness, courage, and communication help shape the future narrative of Danish pig production? Through the channel I Love Bacon, Kim Kjær Knudsen has invited the public into the barn, offering a glimpse into everyday life as a pig producer. The response has been mixed – ranging from strong appreciation to sharp criticism.

How do you adjust feeding to match the pig’s potential while maintaining high productivity and keeping feed costs under control? Drawing on experience from a full-line production system in Thy and the latest trial results, we focus on feeding and management of sows, entire males, and immunocastrated boars. You will gain practical insights into what works in practice – both in large pens and conventional finisher housing.
Sven Agergaard has completed a gradual generational transition with two co-owners who are not part of the family. Hear about the considerations and preparations that have shaped the process over many years, and how new opportunities along the way led to adjustments in the plans.
