Dynamic Pig Health: Optimizing Performance Through Holistic Disease Control
FREE Webinar
April 16, 2026
12:00 p.m. Central
Pig health is not static — it’s shaped by constant interactions between pathogens and organ systems. Join Boehringer Ingelheim and a panel of industry experts for a discussion on Dynamic Pig Health and why optimizing pig performance requires a holistic approach to disease control.
Managing pig health in today’s production systems is more complex than ever. Disease pressures are constantly evolving, and pigs rarely face a single pathogen or challenge at a time. In order to effectively manage herd health today and into the future, we need to understand and acknowledge that pig health is not static. It is dynamic. With interactions between multiple pathogens and organ systems, all playing key roles.
In this webinar, Boehringer Ingelheim brings together a panel of veterinarians, researchers, and industry experts to explore the concept of Dynamic Pig Health, and the role it plays in decision-making that directly impacts performance and profitability. Panelists will discuss how coinfections, subclinical disease, and system-wide health pressures influence key performance metrics such as growth, feed efficiency, and mortality. Drawing on field experience and applied research, the discussion highlights why a holistic perspective is critical for making better health and management decisions.
Whether you’re evaluating diagnostic results, assessing disease control strategies, or looking to improve overall herd performance, this webinar will help reframe how you think about pig health — not as a series of isolated problems, but as a dynamic system that must be managed proactively and strategically.
