K2 Courses
Training for farmers and breeders
The K2 Agricultural Academy is a practical training program for farmers and farm staff who want to improve production results based on work standards, procedures, and data. Combining expert knowledge with real-world farm realities, we discuss solutions that can be implemented immediately and that deliver tangible results in reproduction, rearing, and fattening.
The Academy’s scope encompasses both production areas and topics that are increasingly demanding in the market, such as biosecurity, DDD, antibiotic restriction, animal welfare, and the Biosecurity Plan.
