VETERINARY CARE OF THE ORGANIC PIG HERD
P. Bown

Abstract
The set-up and organisation of an organic pig farm is reviewed. The paper emphasises the need for the private veterinarian to become closely involved in the business so that identified pitfalls can be avoided. It is recommended that an organic pig herd should be created from modern genetic stock and enjoy freedom from the major pig pathogens. In such circumstances an organic pig herd can be productive and profitable.
