  • Selection of breeding stock using genetic data and understanding phenotypic traits and conformation

About You

  • A degree in Animal Science or related field
  • Strong computer skills, particularly in Microsoft Office
  • A keen interest or previous experience in genetics and animal breeding
  • Team-focused attitude and willingness to learn
  • Prior experience in pig production is advantageous but not essential

A variety of experiences awaits you ranging from involvement with the Artificial Insemination Laboratory and weekly ultra-sound and performance testing of Nucleus pigs, right through to computer-based analysis of Estimated Breeding Values and Genomic evaluation.
