Working groups take the producer’s challenges into animal health, supply continuity, labor, nutrition, genetics, and data, testing how big each problem is, whether solutions perform consistently across barns and sites, and whether they prevent enough loss to justify wider deployment. The aim is a clear case for the pilots, commercial models, and investments worth advancing.

Discussion themes:

• PRRS, PEDV, and earlier disease intervention
• African swine fever preparedness and business continuity
• Labor, robotics, and smarter barn operations
• Precision nutrition, weaning, and feed-cost resilience
• Disease-resistant genetics and market acceptance
• Turning swine data into faster production decisions
