If you are an educator looking to teach students about agriculture, we offer several resources that can give students a thorough overview of the pork industry:
- Animal U — A curriculum developed at Iowa State University introducing students to animal care, animal welfare, animal health, animal behavior, anatomy, reproduction, genetics, nutrition, and more.
- Destination Pork — A two-part curriculum designed to introduce high school students to the broad range of career pathways in the pork industry!
- Iowa Ag Literacy Foundation
- Life Cycle of a Market Pig — Leaflet takes you on the journey of a pig’s life cycle.
- Virtual barn tour
