The recovering Chinese pig market has prompted USDEC to organize its first feed seminar in China since before the pandemic. USDEC is looking to reengage with local producers to remind them of the benefits of adding permeate to piglet rations or increasing the permeate ratio.

The half-day seminar takes place Oct. 25 in Chengdu, China, in a hotel near the 13th Leman China Swine Conference & World Swine Industry Expo. The Leman conference runs Oct. 25-27 and is the largest pig-farming conference in the world, with this year's event expected to attract more than 150,000 visitors.

USDEC has arranged a lineup of expert speakers to share the latest information on how permeate facilitates growth and healthier animals. Presenters include Dr. Sung Woo Kim, professor at North Carolina State University; Dr. Qingping Liu, International Ingredient Corp.; Dr. Guankun Wei, Lewin Hebei Nongbiao Biotech; and Dr. Daiwen Chen, professor at Sichuan Agricultural University.

The seminar will start at 9 a.m. and be followed by a luncheon at 12:30 p.m., where members, speakers and attendees will have opportunities for further discussions.
