Pig Progress at VIV Asia – seminars on the agenda
VIV Asia is here and Pig Progress is in Thailand for the exhibition, along with thousands of industry professionals. Pig Progress is looking forward to meeting participants and visitors at booth 3080 in Hall 2, and invites visitors to attend 2 seminars.
At VIV Asia, Pig Progress will host 2 seminars on Thursday 9 March – one on Antibiotic Reduction and the other on Gut Health. Participation is free, and everyone is welcome to participate in person or to watch it live online, or any time thereafter.
Antibiotic Reduction seminar – 9 March at 12.00 (6.00 am CET)
Worldwide, the pig industry is embracing the theme of antibiotic reduction. Countries in Asia are all doing their best to get a grip on producing pigs without antibiotics as much as possible, without risking performance.
This seminar aims to address the topic of antibiotic reduction and will share some fresh ideas from industry experts on how to achieve top performance whilst reducing antibiotics.
Gut Health seminar – 9 March at 13.00 (7.00 am CET)
The theme ‘Gut Health’ has only grown in importance in recent years, and knowing what is happening inside the pigs’ gastro-intestinal tract has become a hot topic for the swine industry.
Worldwide, the usage of growth-promoting antibiotics is being discouraged, followed by increasing debate on the use of high-level amounts of zinc oxide. Meanwhile, gut health problems continue to exist. More than ever, therefore, knowledge is needed to better prepare and help the pigs get through weaning smoothly – and beyond. This seminar by Pig Progress will address various lines of thought and present relevant strategies.
