Producers, students, nutritionists, veterinarians and academia are invited to attend a new event at World Pork Expo titled Lessons in Swine Nutrition.
R. Dean Boyd, swine nutritionist with Animal Nutrition Research, will moderate four small interactive group discussions. The hour-long sessions offered will be held June 4 and 5 in the U.S. Soy Hospitality Tent #G520 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, Iowa.
“World Pork Expo is the perfect opportunity to share research that uncovers the remarkable health and growth-supporting aspects of soybean meal,” Nathan Augspurger, senior director, Animal Nutrition and Health at the United Soybean Board, said in a release. “We are going to tackle the economic impact of the summer weight dip and how to solve it. Plus, we’ll share practical amino acid insights straight from on-farm experiences and how a least-cost formulation approach may be limiting ROI in some systems.”
