WHO WE ARE
Wayland Farms Ltd is one of the largest, outdoor reared pig producers in the United Kingdom. Based in Norfolk in East Anglia, utilising the light free draining soils and relatively dry climate, our business operates a closed breeding herd and prides itself on its high health status, professional management and absolute focus on the highest standards of pig welfare.
All our pigs are reared outdoors and then moved into large straw filled, naturally ventilated barns. We own a number of in house finishing farms, however we also have a large number of local contract pig finishers and always have opportunities for local farmers across East Anglia who would like to diversify into pig farming.
Biosecurity of our farming operation is crucial to maintaining improvements in pig performance and the high health status of our animals.
We ensure this by operating our own feed mill, haulage and livestock transport. Running our own transport for feed and livestock is important to us, as it means we can ensure best biosecurity practices. We operate a strict health pyramid, with movement of animals, staff, vehicles and lorries managed to minimise risk of disease spread.
We take full responsibility for the health and welfare of all our pigs, ensuring we regularly visit our contract finishing farmers to offer support and advice. Our in-house trial facility allows us to explore latest options for feed, additives, genetics and drinking water.
This facility delivers huge advantages for us to deliver improved new advancements and share best practise across all our sites, with the main focus to improve herd performance.
