SEMINAR – GUT HEALTH | MARCH 12 | 16.00 – 17.30PM | ROOM: JUPITER 7
Year after year again, it becomes clearer how important a healthy gut is for pigs. After all, intensive antibiotics use is increasingly being discouraged all over the planet, and Asia is no exception in that sense. For that reason, it is vital to make sure that the animals are well prepared in all possible ways, to be as robust as possible and manage to get through any health challenge they might face. The Pig Progress “Gut Health” seminar at VIV Asia 2025 will discuss various strategies to help producers make sure that pigs are as healthy as they possibly can be. We look forward to seeing you at 4pm at Wednesday, March 12 in room Jupiter 7.

SEMINAR – SUSTAINABILITY | MARCH 13 | 13.00 – 14.30PM | ROOM: JUPITER 10
Sustainability in swine production could mean something else for everybody. It could be related to good stockmanship, to taking responsibility, to care for future generations and to the environment. Or all of them together. What is emphasised, depends highly on the speaker. In this Pig Progress seminar various speakers will explore the concept of sustainability and will explain what can be done to produce pigs in a more sustainable fashion. That will come with ideas, examples and tips & tricks to produce more sustainably.

Profiting from sustainable swine genetics
- Swine Breeding goals have historically been based on the economics of the pork supply chain
- When including sustainability through CO2 emissions within the breeding goal the relative importance of the traits in the selection index changes
- Perhaps surprisingly these changes do not necessarily mean increased costs for pig producers but does require priorities to be changed
- Work of some breeding companies is now addressing these priorities
- Businesses may wish to refocus their KPIs to reflect the importance of sustainability
- Consumers may have to accept changes in the final pork product to accommodate sustainability goals.
