The Allen D. Leman Swine Conference has been an annual educational event for the global swine industry. Since 2020, the Leman Conference materials have been shared in Spanish with the Spanish-speaking swine industry, including the community in North America. During November 16-17th 2022, we will be hosting our second virtual Leman Conference exclusively in Spanish, which includes important topics in health, biosecurity, production, emerging diseases, and sustainability.
This virtual event is made out of two keynote sessions that will cover the current ASF situation in the Dominican Republic and the nutritional and feeding strategies when feed ingredients are costly. In addition, we will have 17 presentations dedicated to respiratory disease control; senecavirus diagnostics, control and elimination; strategies for decreasing mortality in all production stages; best biosecurity practices and sustainability programs presented by industry leaders. We will also have a diagnostic workshop that will feature a practical necropsy session with best practices to perform post-mortem examinations.
More details can be found in the conference website, including the meeting program that has been translated into English. We believe this 1.5-day virtual conference is a great contribution to help train the Spanish-speaking swine community to address current and emerging industry challenges!
