To celebrate the holiday season, Farms.com is bringing back its annual Holiday Countdown Calendar. From the first of December to Christmas day, you are invited to visit the Holiday Countdown Calendar and enjoy a different daily farm-themed and family-fun activity. Each day in December, a new activity is unlocked. From puzzles, games and videos, the Holiday Countdown Calendar is full of festive activities.


This year, all of the games are now programmed using HTML 5 and/or JavaScript (no more Flash). So they should now all work on tablets, including iPad and iPhone.   Please note that to create these games so they work on newer devices, some games may not work on old browsers though (IE 8 and lower) as those browsers do not support HTML 5.


Farms.com knows that the holiday season is a special time to spend with friends and family – that’s why we have added a new feature to the Holiday Countdown Calendar: “Send to a friend”. Now you can share the Farms.com Holiday Countdown with friends and family, near and far. Why not create a new family tradition and make visiting the Farms.com Holiday Countdown Calendar a family affair – it’s a great place to find holiday activities for those special children in your life.


Farms.com and its family of companies, AgCareers.com, Farms.com Media, PigCHAMP, Farms.com Risk Management, Ag Buyer’s Guide, Farms.com Professional Services and CareersInFood.com would like to wish you and your friends and family a very merry holiday season!

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
