Kemin Intestinal Health Virtual Symposium Brings Global Experts Together October 15–16
The virtual event brings together researchers, veterinarians, and industry specialists to discuss the latest science surrounding intestinal health, animal nutrition, and livestock performance. With presentations covering swine, poultry, dairy, beef, and equine industries, the symposium offers opportunities for agricultural professionals to explore research and management strategies that support animal health and productivity.
Hosted by Kemin Industries, the symposium focuses on three key pillars of intestinal health: immunity, gut integrity, and microbial balance. These areas play important roles in supporting digestive function, nutrient utilization, and overall animal performance.
For pork producers, intestinal health remains an important component of successful swine production. Maintaining healthy digestive systems can help support pig growth, feed efficiency, and overall herd health. The symposium provides an opportunity to hear from researchers and veterinary professionals working to better understand the relationship between nutrition, intestinal function, and animal performance.
