Loyal consumers know that pork is versatile and delicious — but how can pork adapt to the palates and expectations of our modern consumers? Can pork take advantage of the skyrocketing popularity of protein and capture a larger share of the plate?
Join Mark Hulsebus and Lori Stevermer from Alltech’s U.S. Pork team as they work with David Newman, CEO of the National Pork Board and Staff, to fabricate a pork carcass featuring new cuts of pork that offer innovative opportunities around versatility, nutrition and value. Because "Taste What Pork Can Do" is not just the National Pork Board’s new marketing campaign — it’s also an invitation to build interest, excitement and demand for U.S. pork.

What drives the USDA pork carcass cutout, and why is it so complex? What do farmers need to know about the pork cutout, and what is being done to ensure it remains representative and relevant? Gain foundational understanding about the pork cutout from USDA price reporters and other industry stakeholders.
Markets move. Disease pressure shifts. Ingredient quality changes. But performance shouldn’t have to.
In partnership with the Swine It Podcast Show, this live podcast session brings together Dr. Francisco Domingues (Anitox), Dr. PJ Corns (JBS), Sebastian Villegas (Asimetrix), and Dr. Clayton Johnson (Carthage Veterinary Service) for a strategic, executive-level conversation on how modern pork systems can be designed for consistency, regardless of external volatility.
The panel will unpack how performance erosion often starts upstream, through subtle environmental, biological, and nutritional pressures that go unnoticed until they show up in throughput, variability, and margin. From feed as a controllable risk input to the role of behavioral signals as early indicators, the conversation will focus on how to move from reactive correction to proactive system design.
Key themes include:
• Hidden stressors that quietly undermine consistency
• Feed as an upstream lever for throughput stability
• Identifying leading indicators before performance slips
• Building layered protection systems that reduce variability and protect margin
The takeaway? Predictable performance isn’t about chasing peaks. It’s about engineering stability into the system.
Is your manure a liability or a hidden asset? Join Kurt Grimm, Dr. Dan Andersen and producer Tork Whisler for a deep dive into the latest separation technologies.
Learn how to reduce storage volume, capture high-value nutrients, and streamline your application process. From cutting-edge research to boots-on-the-ground implementation, our panel reveals how to stop managing waste and start managing your ROI.
We will unpack the other side of manure: biology, humic/fulvic and the hormone profile and how hog producers can capitalize on these components.
