To qualify for the competition launched at this year’s Pig and Poultry Fair, producers must confirm in 50 words the reason why their business would benefit from technology. After the 12-month period the successful producers have the option to return the recording package or take up a recording subscription with WinPig.

Announcing the initiative, Mark Wilson – Director of Pig Development at BPEX highlighted the benefits of the project, “Technology now provides easier and more adaptable routes to recording. Working with Agrosoft we believe that non-recorders will quickly benefit from real-time information on their herds and be able to make changes which will quickly impact physical and financial performance.”

The competition has been extended and producers may apply up until the end of June 2006 to qualify. Full competition details and applications are available from www.bpex.org.uk
