Welcome to the 2. European Symposium on

Porcine Health Management

"Pig Health, Performance and Welfare"

Dear Colleagues

On behalf of the organizing committee it is with great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2nd Symposium of the European College of Porcine Health Management, May 26 – 28, 2010 in Hannover. The Field Station for Epidemiology in Bakum as part of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover will host the Congress in the capital of Lower Saxony.

An inspiring scientific programme will offer you up-to-date information about porcine health management, which we are confident, will be relevant to most if not to all colleagues working within the field of pig production. In addition, the social programme will offer you great opportunities to maintain and extend your networks. The programme will consist of keynote lectures, paper and poster sessions. Furthermore there will be the Annual General Meeting of the European College of Porcine Health Management.

Last, but not least, visiting Hannover will offer you plenty of culture, entertainment, fun and good food. It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Hannover in May 2010.
