23 March 2026, the team did a day trip to Ilmajoki, Ostrobothnia to visit Iso-Tuisku pig farm. Iso-Tuisku is a family-owned company supplying pigs to breeders and pork pigs to Atria’s main abattoir located nearby in Nurmo, Seinäjoki.
Iso-Tuisku is on the Finnish scale a medium-sized farm containg around two thousand pigs, mainly sows, piglings, porkers, and one boar.
Many thanks for Iso-Tuisku farm for having us and giving us a detailed guided tour through the many production stages of contemporary pig farming. The visit provided us with valuable insights into the multispecies practices around swine husbandry and helped us to understand the long-term trends of the Finnish livestock industry more profoundly.
