There are many ways to evaluate interventions in a swine operation. But how do we measure and evaluate the outcome?  Are the results just due to random chance or are there real differences? Are there factors that make the data less reliable?  Today we have a panel of experts who have been evaluating interventions in pig populations and the validity of the results throughout their careers.  Please join us as we get their opinions of how to design and carry out field studies to make better decisions for your business.

Joining us as speakers will be:
