Swine Seminar: “Sustainability in swine production: still a hot topic”
Last year we organised our swine seminar with the title “Sustainability in swine production: environmental, economic, and animal welfare aspects”. One year later there is still a lot of discussion on sustainability; what does it mean, what are the consequences for the swine sector and how can we anticipate as swine sector? Therefore, sustainability is still a hot topic. This year’s seminar will focus on the perception of the retail and consumer, but also on the application of some sustainability concepts when formulating growing-finishing pig diets or evaluating the gut health and welfare of piglets.
The seminar “Sustainability in swine production: still a hot topic” will be organised on Thursday 22 June 2023. During this seminar, experts will provide recent knowledge on applications and developments of sustainability within the swine sector illustrated by concrete examples.
