Argentina will host the first South American edition of the Symposium on Gut Health

A two-day symposium titled Gut Health in Production of Food Animals, South America, will be held July 7-8, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The venue of the meeting is the Savoy Hotel, one the most emblematic hotels in downtown Buenos Aires, perfectly capturing the historic grandeur and contemporary energy of this bustling, cosmopolitan city. The meticulously refurbished hotel Savoy is a landmark of neobaroque architecture and style, that welcomed its first guests in 1910.

The first meeting of Gut Health was organized more than 10 years ago in United States by USDA researcher Dr. Mike Kogut, a very respected and influential scientist. After all these years, the symposium has become a key meeting point for industry and academy. The aim of this meeting is to discuss the role of good health in animal production and the dynamic and essential role the gut plays in it. More than 10 invited speakers, recognized internationally in the field of animal health and nutrition, will be attending the symposium in Buenos Aires. Around 250 delegates will be participating in this symposium.

The event will include all species in animal agriculture and cover different aspects of the gut and important factors in gut health maintenance and disease. The symposium will provide a platform to present the latest research findings, from the fundamental aspects of defining and measuring gut health to the complex and interactive roles of the intestinal microbiota, intestinal epithelium, immune cells, and nutrition in modern animal production. This symposium offers an opportunity to engage in scientific discussions and conversations with renowned university, government and industry researchers.
