Business seminars target competitive advantage
This year's business seminars will present ideas for producers to maximize their competitive advantages from the farrowing house to the global marketplace.
On Wednesday, June 8, from 9:30 a.m. to noon, Hamlet Protein will feature experts in piglet nutrition and gut health discussing the development of the post-weaning gut and how to optimize performance. They will delve into the role of weaning age and the implications of ingredient selection, as well as whole-diet-formulation targets.
On Wednesday from 1 to 2 p.m., and again from 3 to 4 p.m., Tonisity, Inc., will present insights into preparing piglets at birth for a successful, low-stress weaning. Researchers will share on-farm trial results of a new isotonic protein drink that helps suckling pigs stay hydrated, which in turn can decrease pre-weaning mortality, increase weaning weights, improve gut function and digestion, and more.
Completing the business seminar lineup on Thursday, June 9, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., will host "Join the Race - Maximize Your Competitive Advantage." Presenters will discuss opportunities in a global market, how to anticipate and respond to changing conditions and how on-farm strategies impact current and future success.
