Meeting Report

This first edition of the Swine International Technical Seminar, held in Madrid (Spain), brought together around 150 industry experts from 26 countries to discuss the main issues affecting modern swine production.

A successor to the “LEVUCELL SB International Technical Meeting”, this seminar maintained its predecessor’s commitment to scientific discourse and global expert interaction, while showcasing Lallemand’s expanded range of microbial solutions. The seminar’s agenda was comprehensive, ranging from the sow to the fattening period. It began with a focus on sow microbiota management, emphasizing its critical role in providing piglets with beneficial maternal imprinting.

Presentations then moved to weaning piglets with a focus on post-weaning diarrhea and potential solutions to this common problem, as well as the importance of managing nutrient digestion kinetics for optimal absorption. The seminar concluded with a focus on heat stress and strategies to enhance energy metabolism in growing and finishing pigs. The well-known probiotic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079 (LEVUCELL SB) and a recently launched specially developed hydrolyzed yeast (YELA PROSECURE) were presented as effective solutions in the context of modern pig production.
