Antibiotics are valuable tools in animal productionand have been for half a century. They improveanimal health and well-being, contribute to theanimal industry’s benefits to society, reduce theamount of feed and other resources required for porkproduction, and contribute to the viability of theindustry. However, there are concerns that use ofantibiotics in animal production contributes to theproblem of antibiotic resistance in human medicine.This conference will review the scientific evidence onissues surrounding antibiotic use in livestockproduction and objectively consider courses ofaction for the future, taking into account bothbenefits and risks of antibiotic use.

University of Illinois researchers, as well as prominentscientists from throughout the US and the world, will bethe speakers for this conference on April 27-28, 2006.The event will be at the Holiday Inn Hotel andConference Center, 1001 Killarney Street, Urbana, IL.

The conference provides an opportunity for porkproducers, allied industry personnel, legislators, feedindustry personnel, consulting nutritionists, veterinarypractitioners, and others interested in up-to-dateinformation on antibiotic use in swine production.

The conference registration fee is$220 per person through April 17,

or $250 per person after April 17 or on site.
