Scientific Program
The scientific program will be compounded by two kinds of presentations:
TECHNICAL SEMINARIES: 4 simultaneous seminars are scheduled, lasting 8 hours each and addressing the following issues: reproduction, nutrition, health and production. These courses will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the 25th of October 2006. They stand for a matchless opportunity to attend an intensive course presented by internationally renowned specialists.
MAGISTRAL CONFERENCES: lectures addressed by national and international technicians bearing proven experience will be held and will deal with the following issues: Pork Marketing, animal well-being, environmental protection, economy, global market, management, reproduction, genetics, health, nutrition and facilities. They will be held on the 26th and 27th of October 2006.
Official Program
The main theme of the "III Latin American Congress on Swine Production" will be “How to produce pork based on modern food safety, environmental protection and animal welfare concepts”. To cover this theme, the presentations were divided into two categories: "Technical Seminars" and " Magistral Conferences":
The Technical Seminars will be held simultaneously in October 25, 2006, in three independent halls. The enrollment allows the participant to attend any seminar and move from one room to another. The time schedule was synchronized with this objective in mind. The Magistral Conferences will be held in October 26 and 27, 2006, in the main auditorium.
