Healthy Animals, Healthy People Backyard Livestock Workshop Series

Healthy Animals, Healthy People Backyard Livestock Workshop Series

University of California Cooperative Extension and Vet Med Extension, School of Veterinary Medicine, would like to hold a series of workshops throughout Northern California to provide you with information on animal health and biosecurity, antimicrobial use, and ways to comply with new federal and state regulations on antimicrobial use. We believe these topics could be of great benefit to current and prospective small-scale and backyard livestock/poultry owners like yourself, and we encourage you to attend.

Outdoor-Raised Pig Survey

This survey is appropriate for anyone that raises at least one domestic pig outside* including: pork producers, farmers, ranchers, backyard operations, 4-H members, pet pig owners, heritage pig breeders, pig rescuers, etc.

(*also referred to as pasture-raised pigs, outdoor-raised pigs, i.e. pig(s) spend at least 50% or more of their time outside, not confined inside a barn or building)

This survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete and you’ll have a chance to win gifts.

Your answers will help UCCE extension develop outreach and educational materials for all producers that raise pigs outdoors.

All information is kept confidential and only reported as a group (i.e. county level statistics), not on an individual level.
