Welcome to our world of knowledge transfer.
The Midwest Swine Nutrition Conference targets professionals in the feed industry, consulting nutritionists, swine veterinarians, sales personnel, and producers who are keen on advancing their knowledge of swine nutrition and feeding principles.
The program lineup this year is broad and has something for everyone. We are pleased to have two speakers from the swine industry this year. Omar Mendoza from The Machhoffs will speak on identifying and prioritizing nutritional challenges in their production system and Aaron Gaines from Ani-Tek Group will discuss nutritional strategies for coping with high diet cost for grow-finish pigs. There will also be presentations on new research involving digestible calcium requirements of pigs, mycotoxins from corn screenings, net energy value of soybean meal, amino acid catabolism under various conditions, and health benefits of feeding treated wheat straw to nursery pigs. This conference is directed toward the feed industry and consulting nutritionists, swine veterinarians, sales people, and producers interested in swine nutrition and feeding concepts.
The conference registration fee is $100 per person through August 25, and $150 per person thereafter.
