Swine Extension Program

The Animal Science Swine Extension Program has resource information available concerning commercial pork production. The information includes such topics as genetics, nutrition, management systems, artificial insemination, waste management, meat quality, carcass evaluation and marketing. Faculty also provide support to the Tennessee 4-H program by providing literature for swine projects and conducting market hog shows for 4-H'ers. These programs are directed through UT Extension staff located in Tennessee's 95 counties.
