Swine Extension Program
The
Montana swine extension program is flexible and demand
driven and attempts to respond to specific needs within
local areas. The swine industry is currently undergoing
dramatic changes in production technologies, business
structures, product quality, marketing strategies, and
awareness of environmental and other societal concerns.
A goal of the swine extension program is to provide
programs, knowledge, and assistance to help producers
understand and adapt to these changes and issues. A
second goal is to develop the concept that a progressive
attitude coupled with niche marketing will help smaller
producers retain a successful and important role in
the swine industry. A third goal is to provide youth
and the public, an understanding of modern swine production
as well as with knowledge of the characteristics of
high quality pork products.
