Dec 2008 ... The Pork Checkoff is using the popular video-sharing web site YouTube to highlight what the pork industry is doing right through three new videos on the checkoff's YouTube channel, the National Pork Board announced.
The new videos, which run one to two minutes each, include:
- Pigs Go Green: Randy Spronk, a Minnesota pork producer, and Brad Greenway, a South Dakota pork producer, describe how they protect the environment, from fertilizing crop ground with swine nutrients to maintaining air quality.
- Ethical Treatment of Pigs: Greenway, along with Dale Norton, a Michigan pork producer, and Leon Sheets, an Iowa pork producer, discuss how proper animal care and modern livestock facilities help farmers supply safe, high-quality food.
- Hungry Pigs: Norton and Gene Nemechek, a swine veterinarian and National Pork Board member, explain how pigs are fed a balanced diet that provides the proper nutrition for each stage of life.
The new videos aim to complement other videos posted on the checkoff's YouTube channel earlier this year. The checkoff is also taking what it has learned about YouTube videos to reach specific target audiences in 2009.
