Chairperson Stephen Butt congratulated Dr Evans and expressed his pleasure over the brand new segment forward. “Dr Evans is a longtime and flexible member of the SAPPO group and has huge publicity around the world beef price chain. He brings a wealth of revel in as a famend chief in animal well being,” says Butt.
Dr Evans grew up in a farming circle of relatives within the Loose State and went on to finish his level on the College of Pretoria’s School of Veterinary Sciences (Onderstepoort). He began his occupation as a better half animal veterinarian sooner than venturing into pig farming and occurring to enroll in CS Vet in Pretoria in 1993. Dr Evans joined SAPPO on a part-time foundation in 2008, and was once pivotal within the construction of Beef 360, in addition to putting in more than a few interventions to permit the sustainable expansion of the business.
“Through the years, pig farmers have demonstrated that they’re extraordinarily environment friendly and leading edge. This must be matched with broad-based collaboration in designing interventions that would mitigate the interrelated biosecurity dangers embedded within the South African pig business. On the centre of the pig business’s long term are value-chain-based partnerships that yield a method to verify marketplace get right of entry to, sustainable construction, and a conductive business setting,” says Dr Evans.
Peter will start his tenure as CEO of SAPPO in September 2023.
