Leman Swine Conference to happen in Minnesota, US as hybrid event

 
 

This year's Leman Swine Conference will be held as a hybrid event on September 18-21.

 

The event will happen in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, the United Stated, while also being live-streamed to anywhere in the world. Recordings of all presentations will be posted online.

 

"Our goal is to spark conversations that help all of us tackle the issues we're facing," Montse Torremorell, swine health and management professor at the University of Minnesota, said.

 

From keynote presentations to breakout sessions, infectious diseases like African swine fever (ASF) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) will be hot topics at the event. Conference speakers will present the latest innovations to mitigate the threats as well as important reality checks that put these situations into perspective.

 

There will also be other topics, including:

 

- Improving swine production and making good business decisions;

 

- How to put big data to work in operations;

 

- Protecting the health of employees throughout the value chain.

 

Additionally, there will be pre-conference workshops on the latest research and testing of ventilation systems and opportunities to bring barn managers to a necropsy.

 

The Allen D. Leman Swine Conference is an annual educational event for the global swine industry. It is internationally acclaimed for bringing science-driven solutions to the complex challenges facing the industry.

 

Each year, hundreds of participants from more than 20 countries, including swine veterinarians and other professionals working in swine production and animal health management, attend the conference.
