Working together to solve the challenges of the pig industry
Bristol research addresses pig industry questions relating to infectious diseases, vaccination, microbiomes, antimicrobial use, behaviour and welfare. This applied scientific knowledge, coupled with the TBRC and surgical skills spanning anaesthesia, imaging and animal physiology enables the provision of a unique combination of facilities and skills to resolve sector challenges.
Our farm animal veterinary practice (Langford Vets), has client farms (mostly small holders/small commercial pig units). Many of these local producers use Bristol’s on-site commercial/research abattoir and butchery, providing potential for supply chain research.
