Curragh to host 2025 Irish Pig Health Society Symposium

The 2025 Irish Pig Health Society (IPHS) Symposium will be held at the Curragh Racecourse in County Kildare on Tuesday April 8, where industry experts will address evolving matters within the pig farming sector.

This year’s Symposium, themed ‘Pigs, People and Pathogens: Mastering Farrowing, Animal Health and Workforce Management’, will feature an exciting programme focused on key industry challenges and best practices.

“Based on the success of last year’s Symposium, we’re delighted to be returning to the Curragh for this year’s edition,” said Jessica Wright, the recently elected IPHS President.

“We’ve secured a fantastic line-up of experts from our sector, in addition to an experienced panel of Irish pig producers, all of whom will present practical solutions to the challenges and opportunities farmers face when it comes to health, welfare and productivity.”
