Scope of the Scientific Program

The goal of the IPVS 2010 scientific program is to ensure that there is an ideal environment for the sharing of ideas among the world’s veterinarians who specialize in improving the health of pigs. The three major themes of the program will be Pig Health, Production & Management, and Food Safety, Animal Welfare & Social Change. Each theme will be addressed by three keynote speakers who will set the stage for the multitude of oral and poster presentations that will follow.

An important objective in the overall theme of the congress “Sharing Ideas – Advancing Pig Health” is to ensure that the latest scientific information is applied at the field level and therefore we will be continuing to include the “practitioner’s line.” As encouragement for practitioner participation there will be a prize for the best case report.

It is our goal to create a forum for the sharing of ideas from the leading researchers and industry workers from around the world, so that this knowledge and innovation and enthusiasm will advance the health of pigs and the strength and wealth of the global pig industry.
