A glossary is also included which can be used to lookup the meanings of key swine terms used in the Toolboxes.

Farms can take advantage of these printable forms to increase their recording accuracy and productivity.
Script booklets that contain all of the audio content from the CD's are available in a printed form.
Training
"Training Toolboxes mimic the hands-on approach we have used for years. We are able to take employees through the lessons and then relate with similar issues that are shown on video. It sparks good decision making and ideas among the staff.
I feel any producer interested in training their employees for better production, better time efficiency, and better worker safety would benefit from the Training Toolboxes.”
