COLUMBIA, Mo. – The 2015 Swine Institute takes place Nov. 10 at the University of Missouri Bradford Research Center in Columbia.

Hosted by the MU Swine Team and the Missouri Pork Association, the annual Swine Institute gathers leaders of the Missouri swine industry for the latest research and analysis.

“This year’s program hits topics sure to be of interest among the industry, as has come to be expected,” says MU Extension state swine veterinarian Tim Safranski. “And we’ve worked to pack it so folks can be home that evening regardless of where in Missouri they come from.”

Topics include ration management, heating savings, antibiotics in manure, feed efficiency and market outlooks.

“In addition to speakers from MU, we have guests from the National Pork Board and the director of the Swine Health Information Center to complete a well-rounded program with insights for all involved in swine production,” Safranski says.

The registration fee, which includes lunch, is $25. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. at the MU Bradford Research Center, with the program beginning at 11 a.m.
