Join us at EuroTier 2024, where Pig Progress 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 a series of 𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿s live at the event 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲r! 💡 The seminars are scheduled for Wednesday, November 13 in Hall 15 - Expert Stage Pig.   💬 Sow Management | 14 November | 10.00 - 11.30 CET An often-heard motto is ‘getting it right from the start’. When applying that to piglets, it basically means that the red carpet should be rolled out even before birth. After all, if their mothers had everything they needed in terms of nutrition, health and welfare, the care they can give to their offspring is top-notch quality as well. Interestingly, the same applies to sows, hence the increasing attention to the early life of gilts, too. This seminar will shed plenty of light on all aspects. 🎓 Our Speakers: Stephan Rosengart, Dr. Paul Engler and Sangita Jalukar.   💬 Gut Health | 14 November | 12.00 - 13.30 CET The pig’s gut is where virtually all disciplines of pig science meet. Think about it – this is where the nutrition for the pigs is absorbed and where bacteria and pathogens can begin to challenge the health of the pig. There is plenty of reason, therefore, to prominently include the theme at EuroTier 2024. 🎓 Our Speakers: Jessica Schynoll, Lea Hübertz Birch Hansen, Olivier Merdy and Alexandra Witte.   💬 Sustainability & Welfare | 14 November | 14.00 - 15.30 CET Climate change, stricter welfare legislation, and European directives – for pig producers across Europe and around the world it sometimes looks like legal and societal demands on conventional swine production never stop. Now, which comments are reasonable? What is acceptable? Which developments are a mere whim? And which ones are here to stay? This seminar considers thoughts and ideas about where production may be header in the future. 🎓 Our Speakers: Jan Fledderus, Jessica seate, Graziano Mantovani and Dr Dr Ian Hands   Register for free on our website and reserve your spot! >> https://lnkd.in/eZizts9C   #Seminar #Swine #EuroTier
