Podcast: Pig production in Zimbabwe’s heat

The Real P3 podcast series is a recent initiative, where pork producers from all over the world will be interviewed about challenges and solutions in their day-to-day work.

Producing pigs at high temperatures

This episode of the podcast series travels to Africa, to learn what pig production is like in a country where temperatures can rise above 40°C. Odendall runs a farrow-to-finish farm of just over 4,650 sows. The owning company has a farm division as well an own slaughterhouse with processing section.

The farm produces for the domestic markets, as due to ASF, exporting restrictions are in place.
