1. Swine Production Congress

October 9–10, 2025. Żnin Sugar Factory. Over 300 participants, fourteen speakers from four countries, and two days of discussions that led to concrete decisions taken back to the farms by the attendees.

 

The first edition demonstrated that the pig farming industry in Poland needs a place like this—where knowledge meets practice, and producers can speak face-to-face with Europe’s leading experts. No filters, no generalities, no wasted time.
