The National Pork Board has announced that its first-ever Pig Welfare Symposium will take place Nov. 7-9, 2017, in Des Moines, Iowa. The forum is designed to help improve the well-being of pigs by disseminating recent research findings and recommendations, raising awareness of current and emerging issues and identifying potential solutions.
"The symposium provides a forum for sharing ideas, learning from other segments of the industry and fostering dialogue on pig welfare-related issues," said Sherrie Webb, director of animal welfare for the Pork Checkoff. "We hope that a broad spectrum of people will attend, including producers, veterinarians, academia, packers and processors and allied industry partners."
Registration is $200 per person. A reduced student rate and virtual attendance options also are being offered. For more information, go to pork.org/pws.
