Spain: workshop on voluntary swine feed intake
This year’s edition of the International Symposium on Digestive Physiology of Pigs (DPP) in Spain will be preceded by a presymposium workshop on voluntary feed intake in swine. Just like the symposium itself, the workshop will be held in Hotel Termes de Montbrió, at the Costa Daurada in Spain, at May 19th. The symposium, which celebrates its ninth edition, will take place 20-22 May.
The workshop, set up by the DPP organising committee and Spanish feed additive manufacturer Lucta, have announced a series of international speakers, who will give presentations around the theme ‘Physiological basis of voluntary feed intake in swine. Pre and post-absorptive regulation’.
