PAACO Swine Welfare Auditor Hybrid Training -2025 S. Dakota

Join us September 23-25 at South Dakota State University in Brookings, SD for the Swine Welfare Auditor Training.  This course will use the Common Swine Industry Audit to combine a detailed classroom curriculum with hands-on training and a sow facility and a wean-to-finish operation.

This training will be conducted in a hybrid format, meaning there is an option to join us in-person or virtually. All registered attendees will be expected to join us in-person unless approved by PAACO. In order to attend virtually, you will need to request that prior to registering by emailing Dakota dthomas@animalauditor.org. International attendees and those with specific circumstances will be given priority to the virtual seats.

There is an online prerequisite for this course, Swine 201.  This online course is included in the cost of training. Once you are registered for the onsite training and submit payment, you will have access to this course on your account.  If you are prompted to pay for Swine 201, or it isn't available contact Dakota dthomas@animalauditor.org.  Please do NOT pay for Swine 201 - PAACO does not guarantee a refund if you do.

Due to USD value fluctuations, some international discounts may be available by contacting PAACO. CE rates available, too. A limited number of discounted grad/DVM students seats are available by application and approval. 

You will be sent additional information regarding the agenda, training details, and more 30 days ahead of the training.

This course will be presented in English.
