About The Pig Veterinary Society

The Society was founded in 1963 and by 2000 had nearly 600 members who are all veterinarians. Two meetings are held each year when the health, welfare and many other factors that relate to the pig are discussed and debated.

The Pig Veterinary Society exists to assist its members to care for pigs, through dissemination of knowledge about health, disease, the pig's welfare and its management. In order to achieve these aims it produces a number of publications including:

• THE PIG JOURNAL
• THE PIG JOURNAL CD Volumes 1-41
• THE CASUALTY PIG
• VETERINARY MEDICINES RECORD OF ADMINISTRATION BOOKLET
• VETERINARY HEALTH PLANNER (for quality assurance guidelines & records)
