Familiarity with herd management software, biosecurity protocols, and automated feeding or climate control systems is typically required. Strong leadership, attention to detail, and effective communication are essential soft skills for managing staff and ensuring animal welfare. These skills ensure optimal piglet survival rates, operational efficiency, and compliance with industry standards.
