Targeting Viral Entry Points Through Feed Biosecurity

Explore how viruses like PEDV, PRRSV and SVA can enter swine production systems through contaminated feed, emphasizing the critical role of feed sanitation in breaking this chain of transmission.

Backed by field data and controlled studies, this session will highlight how applying proven chemical feed treatments effectively reduces viral load without impacting animal performance. Key practical takeaways for producers and feed mill managers will be the importance of integrating consistent sanitation protocols and validated viral mitigation strategies at the mill level to create a biosecure barrier before the feed ever reaches the farm.

Speakers: Francisco Domingues, DVM, Global Technical Director - Swine Markets

1:30 PM – 3:00 PM

Producers are often told to tell their stories, but is that enough? What else do we need to know about organizations that actively work to undermine these stories, regardless of whether they believe their intentions are good? What has to be true for agriculture to have the strongest impact when speaking outside of the industry? How can we contribute to our shared purpose of Working Together for a Planet of Plenty®

 

Join Lori Stevermer, past president of the National Pork Producers Council, as she hosts a conversation with key individuals on the state of animal activism within our industry and what that means for everything from immediate impact today to the longevity of the pork business. Dr. Mark Lyons, President and CEO, Alltech, Andy Curliss, Vice President of Strategic Engagement, NPPC, and Kylee Deniz, Executive Director, Oklahoma Pork Council, will discuss what this could mean for your business, how to build on the positive image that farmers have, and why it's important for consumers and pork producers alike that we continue telling our story.
