In total 3 expert speakers will address the audience:

Dr Carlos Piñeiro, DVM – CEO, Animal Data Analytics, Spain

Dr Piñeiro, a well-known expert in the field of biosecurity, will give a presentation called “Securing the future: How biosecurity protects animal health and boosts production.” He will focus on the question how biosecurity enhances healthier pig production and promotes vital animals with higher welfare – now and in the future.

Water is the key element in the presentation of Gabi Doughan. She will explain how water line biology poses a biosecurity risk, and she will address how swine water systems affect medication efficacy. She will also present evidence of the impact of water line cleaning and disinfection on water quality.
