69th Annual Meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science
PROHEALTH organises session at EAAP
PROHEALTH will co-organise a session at the Annual Meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP). The theme of this year’s EAAP is “Conventional and traditional livestock production systems – new challenges”. The theme covers many topics including animal welfare and sustainability. PROHEALTH chose a fitting topic: ‘Sustainable control of production diseases in pigs and poultry, with emphasis on early survival’ (Session 38, 8:30-12:00 on 29 August 2018).
The following contributions have been accepted for an oral presentation:
