Experts from across the North
American Swine industry made an
impressive line-up of speakers for
the 2012 London Swine Conference
(LSC). The 12th annual event
boasted record attendance with over
350 participants on March 28 and
29.
Under the theme “A Time for
Change” the program highlighted
change in available technology,
economic conditions and the level of
public concern with the welfare of
farm animals. Over 20 excellent
speakers from Ontario, across
Canada and the United States filled
the new conference format.
For the first time topics were
divided by production type,
targeting sow production on day one
and grow-finish operators on day
two. Attendees had the opportunity
to network with a cross-section of
the pork industry. Overall,
comments were very positive.
Participants stated that the
conference was “very informative”
with “a wide variation of topics” and
were “impressed by the intense
knowledge of the speakers”.
The LSC program covered
practical pork production, including
the future of barn design ideas for
alternative feed ingredients and
production data benchmarking.
Speakers challenged participants to
be ready for a changing business
environment by making research
based decisions, using on-farm trials
properly and knowing their key
financial data. Presentations
included updates on the new
marketing environment in Ontario
and a thought provoking session
about being an advocate for modern
agriculture to a public that is more
and more distant from the farm.
The planning committee extends
their thanks to Industry Partner level
sponsors Agriculture Management
Institute, Better Pork Magazine,
Elanco, Gentiporc, Hypor,
Reproquest, Total Swine Genetics
and Zinpro/Jefo, along with 30
industry sponsors. With their strong
support, LSC continues to be one of
the largest education events for the
swine industry in Ontario.

Den Boogaard, the winner of free

Swine Conference. The conference
proceedings will soon be available
online at www.londonswine
conference.ca/proceedings along
