NOVUS and DPP Team Up to Recognize Excellence in Swine Education
Nominations are open globally for a new award recognizing swine educators. The NOVUS Distinguished Academic Training & Innovation Award will be presented in partnership with the 16th International Symposium on Digestive Physiology of Pigs (DPP) held May 20-23, 2025. Along with recognition, the award winner will receive $7,500, the company said in a release.
The award is open to educators around the world at higher education institutions who have made significant contributions to the academic and professional growth of undergraduate and/or graduate students in the fields of digestive physiology of pigs, and related fields such as swine nutrition, nutritional biochemistry, and nutrient metabolism.
Award sponsors NOVUS and DPP aim to highlight the importance of swine academic leadership and innovation, ensuring the continued growth and advancement of the field.
Marisol Castillo, executive manager of Global Swine Solutions at NOVUS said DPP was the perfect partner for an award that supports swine scientists.
“DPP has the reputation of being a highly scientific conference. Its reputation for focusing on science instead of the more commercial aspects of the industry is a mirror of the environment the nominees are working in,” she said in a release. “Our goal in creating this award – the first of its kind for the swine team at NOVUS – is to recognize the work academic scientists are doing. DPP is the perfect place to celebrate swine science.”
