28th International Pig Veterinary Society (IPVS) Congress is returning to Southeast Asia, positioning Vietnam as the temporary hub for global swine health, biosecurity, and livestock engineering. This year’s congress is exceptionally critical as multi-national protein integrators and veterinary pharma giants gather to address ongoing challenges: managing the structural impacts of African Swine Fever (ASF) mutations, navigating the global shift away from antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs), and commercializing precision, multistory farming technologies.
Parallel to the main global livestock event, the official schedule reminds attendees that the standard Regular Registration window closes on May 30, 2026, with the final authorized program layout scheduled for release on June 1, 2026.
Key Exhibitors
The exhibition floor at Thiskyhall is fully booked, divided into Diamond Corporate Sponsors and tier-one animal nutrition/health engineering conglomerates. Multinational exhibitors are leveraging IPVS 2026 to showcase practical alternatives for performance enhancement under tightening global regulatory frameworks:
-
Adisseo (Global Livestock Nutrition): Officially confirmed its operational presence in Ho Chi Minh City. Adisseo’s technical teams are prepared to display low-protein diet formulation software alongside specialized synthetic amino acid lines and feed enzymes engineered to offset volatile global grain baselines
-
Biomedical & Vaccine Producers: Tier-one exhibitors are showcasing DIVA-compliant (Differentiation of Infected from Vaccinated Animals) vaccine candidates targeting Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) and early field datasets for emerging ASF sub-genotypes
-
Precision Agribusiness & Automation Tech: A significant sub-section of exhibitors is focusing entirely on automated climate control, smart sensor arrays, and biosecurity tracking systems designed for dense, industrialized pig operations
Featured Keynote Speakers: Multistory Pig Farming
A primary focal point of the IPVS 2026 scientific track is the operational optimization of ultra-dense livestock structures. The organizing committee has highlighted a marquee keynote presenter to address this development:
Keynote Spotlight: > Speaker: Dr. Jason Yan
Affiliation: Beijing Precision Farm Technology LLC, China
Lecture Title: “Application and Practice of Multistory Pig Farming: Pig Flow and Health Management”
Context: Dr. Yan brings more than 30 years of international swine production, veterinary health, and agribusiness expertise to the stage. As global land availability and strict spatial environmental zoning regulations increasingly limit traditional horizontal farm footprints, multistory pig farming has emerged as a vital solution in East Asia. Dr. Yan’s presentation will detail advanced biosecurity isolation protocols, automated air filtration arrays, and localized pig flow management models necessary to prevent disease cross-contamination across vertical production floors.
