About the Australian Pig Veterinarians

The Australian Pig Veterinarians (APV) focus on preventative medicine, and promote to members a holistic view of

veterinary science, particularly in regards to pigs in their various environments.

Veterinarians that work with pigs make a very important and global contribution to society by ensuring adequate and safe

food is available, while still maintaining the health and welfare of pigs.

Increasingly, pig veterinarians are extending the scope and delivery of veterinary science by becoming involved in training

programs for pig producers, quality assurance programs, and establishing and managing production systems and global

disease prevention.

Pig veterinarians work in various types of private practice, government departments, universities, research institutions

and a wide range of commercial companies that produce pigs, feed, products for pig production and pharmaceuticals.

This year we are delighted to have Dr Marcelo Gottschalk joining us as our keynote speaker, from the Faculty of

Veterinary Medicine at the University of Montreal. Dr Gottschalk will be joined by a range of other speakers,

including Dr Stephen Page of the University of Sydney, for two full days of presentations.

So, join us at the Tradewinds Hotel in Fremantle, WA for the pig veterinary industry’s ‘must’ attend event.

The Tradewinds Hotel, situated in East Fremantle on the beautiful Swan River

is a boutique, newly renovated hotel. Just a short drive to Western Australia’s

famous beaches or the bustling streets of Fremantle, the Tradewinds is the

perfect warm and welcoming base for your trip west.

Accommodation is encouraged at the Tradewinds.

International Speaker — Professor Marcelo Gottschalk

Professor Gottschalk has a DVM, PhD in microbiology and immunology, and

as held an academic position (full professor) at the Faculty of Veterinary

medicine at the University of Montreal since 2001. He is the director of the

North American reference laboratory for the diagnosis of Actinobacillus

pleuropneumoniae (APP, etiological agent of swine pleuropneumonia). He is

also the director of the international reference laboratory for Streptococcus

suis. He founded the Swine Infectious Diseases Research Center in Canada

and he was also the director of the Research Group of Swine Infectious

Diseases at the University of Montreal.

He has published more than 350 papers in international peer-reviewed

journals and more than 150 papers in professional journals. He is also the

author of two chapters of reference book “Diseases of

Swine” (Actinobacillosis and Streptococcus). He has been invited to speak

on more than 250 occasions in more than 35 countries and has participated

in more than 400 studies presented at different international meetings. His

activities are highly concentrated on APP, S. suis and Haemphilus parasuis.

Professor Gottschalk will be making

two key presentations on the following

diseases :

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae

Focusing on how to diagnose

(specifically chronic and subclinical

(infections), how to evaluate the risk

of introducing carrier animals, and

how to control and prevent clinical

disease. There are very good tools to

control and prevent swine

pleuropneumonia, but these must be

rationally used.

Streptococcus suis

Focusing on how to establish a good

diagnosis (S. suis as a primary or

secondary pathogen). He will also

discuss measures to control and

prevent disease and address the

controversy on the use of autogenous

vaccines. The zoonotic aspect of the

disease will also be discussed.
