Annual Convention 2022 – Registration now open

Jan 17, 2022

As you know, the NSFGA 2022 Annual Convention on January 26 has morphed from an in-person to a hybrid to a fully virtual event over the space of a few weeks. The Annual Convention Committee has worked hard to make this Convention a success and with the help of Jeff Wentzell (NSDA), it has become a reality. We would therefore warmly welcome you to register for the 2022 Annual Convention as there are many excellent speakers and sessions that are relevant and practical so you won’t want to miss them. Visit the event page to register for the Convention. On the event page you can check out the agenda, speakers and sessions in the event.

Pesticide points will be awarded under NS Environment course T2058 and is worth 2.5 points (0.5 pts in Labelling and 2.0 pts in Pest Management). Points are awarded to specific sessions listed in the agenda and tuning-in is mandatory to qualify for points.

We really look forward to having you join us on January 26th. If you have any problems with the registration, please don’t hesitate to contact me and, with Jeff’s help, we’ll get it sorted out.

Video: Porcine Gut Models in Nutrition Research - Dr. Li-Hsuan Chen

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Li-Hsuan Chen, postdoc researcher at Aarhus University, discusses how porcine intestinal cell lines and organoids can help study the impact of nutrition on gut health. He explains how in vivo piglet trials identify diet-driven shifts in microbiota and metabolites, while in vitro models allow researchers to test specific metabolites, barrier function, immune markers, and future organ-on-chip systems before moving back to animal studies. Listen now on all major platforms!

"In vitro models can reduce early animal use by helping researchers screen nutritional candidates before moving back to in vivo trials."

Meet the guest: Dr. Li-Hsuan Chen / li-hsuan-chen-9a95a7279 is a postdoc researcher at Aarhus University in Denmark. Research focuses on porcine gut health, host-microbe interactions, cell lines, and organoids, with PhD work at Aarhus University studying how dietary protein and amino acid levels shape gut microbiota, microbial metabolites, and intestinal epithelial responses.
