NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2025 17 The 16th Digestive Physiology of Pigs (DPP) conference will take place from May 20-23, 2025 in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, USA. During the conference, French independent precision minerals supplier Animine will host a Satellite Symposium on May 20 from 8 am to noon. The company and its research network will present a holistic approach for swine nutrition & health focusing mainly on the use of zinc, copper, and manganese, but also of calcium and phosphorus. Animine symposium, chaired by Dr. John Patience (Iowa State Univ., USA), will be divided into 4 main sections. First, Prof. Marie-Pierre Létourneau-Montminy (Laval Univ., Canada) will present the latest insights on mineral requirements for pigs and sows. Then, Prof. Mike Tokach (Kansas State Univ., USA) will focus on zinc and explain the benefits of combining low zinc with ABC-4 management in the formulation of post weaning diets. He will be followed by Prof. Jürgen Zentek (Berlin Univ., Germany) that will highlight how Europe have managed to reduce dietary zinc after the ban of pharmacological use of ZnO. Then, Prof. Hans Stein (Illinois Univ., USA) will present the latest researches on Cu supplementation for growing-finishing pigs. To give a field vision of the topic, Dr. Tommy Shipp (Feedworks USA) will expose the main challenges and benefits of supplementing copper as a growth promoter in the pigs’ diet.
