The Swine Health Symposium will be held July 20 at the University of Missouri Bradford Research Center.
The symposium, which took the place of the MPA Swine Veterinarian Seminar, provides information for veterinarians and pork producers on issues facing the swine industry. The event begins at 8:30 a.m. and continues until 3:45 p.m.
The lineup of speakers this year includes university faculty, the state veterinarian, swine operation owners and Missouri producers who are leading a regional effort to eradicate Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome. There will also be representatives from the National Pork Producers Council and the National Pork Board addressing other issues in several sessions.
“We have a range of topics, from practical ‘in-the-barn’ issues to cutting-edge technology and a little look into the future,” said MU Extension state swine specialist Tim Safranski.
The symposium is open to pork producers, veterinarians and members of the industry. There is no cost to attend the event, but you must register online or call (573) 445-8375 before July 14.
The Missouri Veterinary Medical Board has approved the event for 6.5 continuing education credits for veterinarians.
