GESTAL Swine Summit

2022 Gestal Swine Summit: Learning Opportunities About Nutrition

This past October, the JYGA Technologies team received more than 100 researchers and nutritionists to attend the GESTAL Swine Summit in Quebec, Canada. On the agenda, 3-days filled with discussions, learning opportunities and networking. We had the honor to welcome renowned guest speakers and attendees from different countries with one common interest: NUTRITION IN THE SWINE INDUSTRY.

Watch our Exclusive Conferences

Several key elements and theories were suggested during the event. Here is your opportunity to watch the conferences of the GESTAL Swine Summit.

Sow Feeding in Australia

Dr. David Cadogan from Australia, our first speaker at the Summit, is talking about what Australian experts learned over the last 12 years in terms of working stall-free and electronic sow feeding. Sharing Australia’s experience about what they got right but also what they did get wrong.

Group Housing and Aggression

Aggression and lameness in group housing are important topics that can be a game changer in the gestating room. Our second guest speaker, Dr. Jennifer Brown from Canada is presenting solutions and studies to overcome this situation.

Everything you Wanted to Know about Precision Feeding

Feed blending can increase efficiency and improve sow performance. But what real potential does feed blending offer to the swine industry? Dan Bussières, nutritionist from Groupe Cérès is taking an in-depth look at feed blending during his conference.

Precision Feeding and the Dairy Industry: What can we learn?

We have invited Dr. Trevor Devries to present lessons and tools about the application of precision feeding implemented in the dairy industry. What can we learn from them to help the swine industry grow? It’s always resourceful to have a look at what other industries are doing!

Mammary Development and Nutrition

Several studies have shown that nutrition of gilts or sows during the periods of rapid mammary accretion occurring during prepuberty, gestation, and lactation can affect mammary development. Dr. Chantal Farmer is presenting the nutritional impact on mammary development and growth rate during her presentation of the GESTAL Swine Summit.

Lactation and Sow Intake

Dr. Hyatt Frobose is discussing individual sow intake in lactation. Based on studies conducted by Dr. Peter Kappel Theil, Dr. Frobose will review variation and how can ADFI (average daily feed intake) be optimized.
