A healthy gut in swine is not only critical for optimum utilization of nutrients but is also key to overall pig health and performance. We have brought a panel of experts together to discuss what comprises a healthy gut and how to maintain it. We will also explore how the intestinal microflora impacts pig immunity and disease resistance.

In this webinar, Fabio Vannucci, Adam Moeser and Mike Tokach will discuss their field experiences and control strategies associated with the virus.

Joining us as speakers will be:
