The Full Story
Nutri-Swine Consulting (NSC) has been 41 years in the making and is the next phase in the long career of Geoff Handley.
Geoff graduated in 1982 with an Agricultural Science Honours degree, giving access to a Technical Sales role at a feedmilling group for the following 10 years. In that time, Geoff’s roles included Farm Sales; Mill Management; Group Nutritionist and eventually Technical and Marketing Manager for the group of 4 feedmills
The establishment of his Highspec Consulting business in 1992 allowed Geoff to specialize in pigs alone, offering his Production and Nutrition service role across 30 farms. 22 years later, that consulting role and the connections created, lead him and a group of his pig consultancy clients to purchase, refurbish and stock a 1400 sow, farrow to finish operation in Northern NSW.
“Pig ownership is the very best way to connect theoretical consultancy with real time production” says Geoff! “I am a better consultant because of that pig ownership experience.”
From 2018 to 2023, Geoff’s role as Technical Marketing Manager Swine for DSM, has allowed his interest in pig nutrition and production to be used to support existing pig business for the company, as well as create service and sales opportunities with new clients across Asia and Globally.
In his latest role as the owner and principal consultant in his own Nutri-Swine Consulting business, Geoff will provide holistic Production, Business and Nutritional advice to Pork Producers and their supplier companies on a fee for service basis.”
