Celebrating Pork Month: Supporting the Future of Pork Production
By Dani Nading
Marketing & Communications Specialist, DPI GLOBAL
Each October, the agricultural community comes together to recognize National Pork Month—a time to honor the hardworking producers, processors, veterinarians, and suppliers who keep the pork industry moving forward.
At DPI GLOBAL, we’re proud to support pork producers with phytogenic solutions that promote gut health, optimize nutrient uptake, and contribute to cleaner, more sustainable production environments. But beyond the science, it’s about supporting people—those who dedicate their lives to feeding families and building a better future through animal agriculture.
What is Pork Month?
Also known as “Porktober,” this industry observance originated as a way to celebrate the end of traditional hog-marketing season in the fall. Over time, it has evolved into a national opportunity to promote pork as a key protein source and to recognize the people who make pork production possible—from farm to fork.
For producers, retailers, consumers, and advocates alike, Pork Month is a time to spotlight the importance of pork and the commitment behind every cut.
Why Pork Matters
Pork continues to be a reliable and accessible protein source for people around the world. But modern pork production goes beyond what’s on the plate—it’s about advancing animal well-being, reducing environmental impact, and meeting the values of today’s consumers.
At DPI GLOBAL, we’re proud to support pork producers in that mission. Our phytogenic solutions are designed to:
- Strengthen gut health and digestive efficiency
- Enhance nutrient uptake for optimized feed performance
- Reduce ammonia to improve air quality for pigs and people
- Support sustainability using natural, research-backed ingredients
Whether navigating the challenges of weaning, performance plateaus, or air quality concerns, we’re here to help producers adapt and succeed—naturally.
Celebrating the People Behind the Protein
Pork Month is about more than recognition—it’s about appreciation for the farmers, animal caretakers, nutritionists, veterinarians, and families who show up every day with care and commitment. These are the people who move the industry forward and provide food security for communities across the globe.
We believe in creating sustainable value—for animals, people, and the environment—and we’re proud to stand with those who live that mission every day.
Looking Ahead
As pork producers face evolving challenges and opportunities, DPI GLOBAL remains committed to delivering tools that support long-term success. From gut health to environmental stewardship, we’re proud to be part of a better future for pork production.
