Swine Innovation Porc at the
2019 Banff Pork Seminar
Posted January 16, 2019
Swine Innovation Porc was once again a proud supporter of the Banff Pork Seminar, held last week on January 8-10. This event has proven to be important and relevant for the Canadian swine sector and the 2019 edition was another great success.
Just before the Seminar, we hosted a special session on swine health titled African Swine Fever and Antibiotic Use: What You Need to Know. The session featured four experts who provided the most up-to-date and pertinent information for the industry on these subjects.

This year's session was well attended, with over 75 seminar delegates present. We look forward to delivering another timely and informative swine health event prior to the 2020 Banff Pork Seminar. We will be sure to keep you informed on next year’s theme!
