WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Pork producers can learn about trends, legislation and studies involving the industry at the Central Indiana Pork Conference in Rossville.

The Feb. 8 conference will feature Monty Moss of Moss Farms in Burnettsville, who will discuss the filtration system he installed at his farm to reduce the spread of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, or PRRS.

Jiqin Ni, an assistant professor in Purdue University’s Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, will present the results of a recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study on air quality and its implications for the pork industry.

Sessions include a swine industry update and a discussion of recent legislative trends and activities affecting pork production.

“The conference will address a range of issues that are pertinent to the commercial pork industry and to individual pork producers – areas of emphasis that will help their operations become more profitable,” said Curt Emanuel, Purdue Extension educator in Clinton County. “People need to know about trends and issues within the industry, and this knowledge will improve their ability to respond and react to some of the challenges and opportunities in the industry right now.”

The conference will be held at Rossville High School, 1 Robert Egly Drive. Those interested in attending are requested to register before Feb. 1 in order to ensure adequate supplies for all participants; however, late registrations will be accepted as space allows.

Registration costs $20 per person. The fee includes materials, refreshments, and a lunch.

For more information or to register online, visithttp://www.ag.purdue.edu/counties/clinton/Pages/cipc.aspx or contact Emanuel at 765-659-6380 or cemanuel@purdue.edu.

The conference is sponsored by the Clinton County Extension Service and the Clinton County Pork Producers.

Receive the tools needed to market animals abroad
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -
The Livestock Exporters Association (LEA) will hold the “Livestock Exporting 101″ seminar from 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 14, in St. Charles, Mo., in conjunction with the United States Livestock Genetics Export (USLGE) annual meeting.

Experienced exporters, LEA members and industry affiliates interested in marketing livestock abroad can benefit from the day-long, in-depth discussion of the export process. The seminar’s program will encompass the entire procedure, from rules and regulations to banking and marketing. Federal, state and port representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal Plant Health Inspection Services and Veterinary Services (USDA APHIS VS) will discuss their roles and give an overview of current rules, regulations and negotiations with foreign governments. Other experts will cover shipping live animals on land, through the air and over water, banking and receiving payments from international clients, insuring shipments and marketing animal genetics internationally.

“The seminar will show both the amount of planning and the people needed to make a successful shipment, as well as the network you need in place to properly plan your shipment,” LEA President Tony Clayton said.

In addition to the program, attendees can network with numerous vendors on display offering a wide range of services related to the exporting process.

Clayton encourages everyone with an interest in marketing livestock, including seedstock producers and breeders, veterinarians and freight providers, to attend because 2011 was an unprecedented year for live animal exports and the future continues to look bright.

“With the growing population and demand for protein around the world, livestock exports will only continue to grow,” Clayton said.

Advanced registration is available on the LEA website beginning Dec. 1. The cost of the seminar is $150 for LEA members and $200 for nonmembers. The registration fee includes all meals for the day. For more information regarding LEA and marketing livestock abroad or to register for the seminar visit the LEA website (www.livestockexporters-usa.com).
