Come to experience the presentations and meet other participants interested in the wide range of current topics, such as complex respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, reproduction and urinary tract disorders, advances in artificial insemination, nutrition and immunity, housing and herd management, farm biosecurity, antibiotic usage and resistance, public health and emerging diseases.

You will also have a great opportunity to explore one of the biggest cities in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City and nearby areas. City tours are always available for shopping and sightseeing excursions. The Notre Dame Cathedral and the 150-year-old zoo are in the city center. The Cu Chi district, with its hundreds of kilometers of famous man-made tunnels is only 1 hour from the city and the Can Gio district, only 50 km from the city, offers attractive mangrove forests.  A 100 km further to the west the sacred Ba Den mountain stands along the Vietnam-Cambodian border. To the east are many delightful beaches, and to the south is the Mekong delta river, a famous area for rice and catfish production. Everywhere there is an abundance of delicious food made from local ingredients and natural materials waiting to be enjoyed by our guests.
