The 2017 World Pork Expo, brought to you by the National Pork Producers Council, is June 7-9 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines.
Pork professionals attending the expo will have the opportunity to hear the most up-to-date production information and ideas, as well as have access to world-class experts during a wide range of free educational seminars.
Attendees can participate in more than 15 presentations covering topics such as nutrition management, understanding consumers, data collection and more.
?The Expo seminars always present a wealth of information that producers can use to run efficient and responsible pork production businesses,? says NPPC President Ken Maschhoff, an Illinois pork producer. ?I would encourage producers to bring their family and employees to expo. It?s a great place to expose them to the latest innovations and learn about research and new developments that they can apply when they return home.?
This year?s business seminars will outline new ways to manage swine herds from birth to market, as well as review technologies that can help producers stay competitive.
Rounding out Expo?s seminar lineup is PORK Academy, with 10 additional free seminars presented by the Pork Checkoff. PORK Academy provides answers for today and tomorrow.
Seminar topics will include pork quality research, social media ideas, employee compensation trends, feed-grade antibiotic alternatives and third-party audits for the farm, the Veterinary Feed Directive, sow housing tools, business continuity and the Secure Pork Supply Plan, as well as U.S. pork exports and global trade prospects.
?Anyone involved with pork production needs to spend some time at World Pork Expo,” Maschhoff says.
World Pork Expo also features the world?s largest pork-specific trade show, with more than 320,000 square feet of exhibit space and featuring hundreds of companies from around the world.
