2009 Carthage Vet Service Annual Swine Conference

Just back from the recent Carthage Vet Service (CVS) Annual Swine Conference in September 1, 2009, Malcomb, Illinois, USA. Dr Joe Connor reported attendance near last year’s level, surely good news in the current climate. Very direct comments from a number of speakers relating to production practices in various sessions including Sow Farm Management, Wean to Finish, Ventilation and a new session on Employee Management, where I spent my break-out session time.

We’ll be sharing comments from the speakers who have agreed to allow us to do so. Overall, CVS knows how to do this program and keeps on top of key industry issues. Dr Sarah Probst-Miller filled a couple of speaker slots including an employee session and an introduction to Pfizer’s 'Walking the Pen' swine production simulation.

Again, thank you for your time and participation! If you have any additional thoughts you would like to share, please feel free to contact us.
