ROCKFORD, Ill. — A new website designed to help pork producers and those in the pork industry has recently been launched by the publishers of Pig International magazine.

Designed to complement the print edition of Pig International, www.pig-inter national.com offers its audience daily updates, an online forum and collaborations between readers and editorial staff.
The website’s managers hope it will become a giant bulletin board for the pig industry, on which information is interactive and generated by readers as well as the editorial staff. The online format will allow further reach to Pig International’s global audience, which has readers in more than 200 countries.

“We are excited about what we can offer our readers through the new website,” said Pig International Editor Lori Weaver.

“We have always known about the challenges facing our readers and have set out to provide them with honest and relevant content.
“Now readers can even more readily feel like part of a bigger community and see that the issues and solutions they face daily are real, international and shared by their peers.”

Topics important to industry insiders are covered with technical focus and business sense. Editorial content, industry-wide focus and online collaboration all add value to the print and digital editions.
Going beyond the techniques of production, www.pig-international.com will focus on the business aspect of the pork industry with the same emphasis as Pig International has always had.

The print editions and online content will satisfy the information needs of the pork enterprise operator, as an employer and manager and as a food producer with the goal of growing the business.
