Featured abstracts of 27th International Pig Veterinary Society Congress – Leipzig Germany, June 4-7, 2024 – Part 1

The International Pig Veterinary Society (IPVS) is an association of pig health and production specialists founded in 1967. Since 1972, congresses have been held every other year. Recently, the 27th IPVS Congress was held in Leipzig, Germany. The 28th Congress is scheduled for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in 2026, and the 29th Congress is scheduled for Minneapolis, United States in 2028. The objectives of the IPVS are 1) the holding of international congresses for the exchange of knowledge related to pig health and production; and 2) the promotion of the formation of Pig Veterinary Societies in all pig-producing countries and the promotion of cooperation between such societies. We have selected some examples of the work presented at the recent IPVS and share them with you on this and next week’s science page.
