Northern Ireland plans £75m cull sow processing plant >More in
Planning proposals have been submitted for a £75m pig processing plant near Ballymoney in Northern Ireland.
The proposals lodged by family-owned meat processor Bann Side Foods include a plan to handle cull sows.
This would make the plant the only outlet for cull sows in the province.
Green light
Full planning permission will be sought if the Causeway Coast and Glens Council gives the project a green light following a 12-week public consultation.
If permission is granted, the factory will be built on the site of a former bacon factory at Agivey, which has not operated since it was destroyed by fire in 1998.
