Time to Take Control: Monogastric Event

Productivity, Profitability & Emissions Reduction

Shaping the future of pigs and poultry - together

Across the supply chain, the pig and poultry sectors face the same challenge: deliver better performance with a smaller footprint. New for 2026, Time to Take Control is our first dedicated event for the pig and poultry sectors - bringing producers, processors, retailers and industry bodies together for a day of straight‑talk, practical tools and proven approaches. Expect a combined morning plenary on where the industry is heading, followed by two dedicated afternoon streams - one for pigs and one for poultry - so you leave with species‑specific actions to implement.
