Pain is a natural response that helps an animal act. But what happens when pain arises, and how does it affect the body’s responses? And how can we, as caretakers of animals, optimise pain management? Veterinarian Carsten Grøndahl from Copenhagen Zoo provides a vivid introduction to the body’s signals, responses, and treatment.
How do you maintain production if the power fails, water pressure disappears, or digital systems stop working? Drawing on experience from both farm operations and national emergency preparedness, we focus on concrete measures that can strengthen day-to-day resilience. You will gain perspectives on electricity, water, feed, data, mobile coverage, and IT security – and on the farm’s role if a crisis occurs.
LFG Breeding & Genetics is adjusting the direction of its breeding programme, with a stronger focus on sows that can successfully rear even more piglets. At the same time, piglets are expected to have a higher chance of reaching weaning, and the occurrence of hernias will be reduced.
Hear about the ideas behind the new breeding objective, the plans for improved survival, and what the future may bring for productivity in sow herds.
How do you ensure that sows reach farrowing in the right body condition and in good health? We focus on the decisions and routines in the gestation unit that influence the sow’s subsequent performance. You will also gain perspectives on loose-housed sows after weaning, grouping of gilts and sows, choice of feeding principles, as well as the design and daily management of the service and gestation unit.

Feed particle size is an important lever in feeding strategy, where coarser feed may benefit gut health but potentially challenge productivity. Hear pig producer Niels Overgaard share his practical experiences from the farm, alongside the latest trial results from SEGES Innovation. Gain updated insights into how feed particle size can be used as a practical tool in production to achieve healthier weaned pigs.
Several studies have shown that sows’ maternal ability can be improved without increasing piglet mortality, but translating these results into practice can be challenging. Ivanna shares her experience in getting sows to rear more piglets, resulting in more uniform litters at weaning and an average of more than 14.5 piglets weaned per litter.
With a practical focus on hoof health, you will gain insight into hoof anatomy and load, along with concrete principles for assessment, cleaning, relief, and follow-up. We will demonstrate bandaging techniques that work in the barn and share real-life examples of hoof trimming and treatment – the small details that make a big difference.
