10-4 IAN Pig App
Alltech Pig App Now Available to BlackBerry Users
Already launched for iPhone and Android phones, Alltech’s free pig application is now available to BlackBerry users. With three features - weather, commodity prices, and pig issues - the app is the first of its kind in the animal health industry. I had to get to the bottom of this so I called the Alltech company and talked to Susanna Elliott. “Imagine my shock, surprise, delight to hear about the new pig app. Laughter. I know. Very interesting, right? So what is a pig app? It is the 1st app of its kind in the animal industry and there are 3 features. Weather, commodities, and pig issues. This entire app was designed to help the producer out. This is an age where we want information quickly and easily accessible. This is made to help you get that information be more profitable, to help your farms be more profitable, because you have that information. The term I find interesting is issues. Issues is a very common term these days. For example I have issues with my wife, I have issues with my boss, what is a pig issue? It could be issues like the profitability squeeze, and other issues like the PRSS which most. Producers are facing.”
