The International Pig Veterinary Society (IPVS) is a global association dedicated to specialists in pig health and production. Founded in 1967, the objectives of the Society are the following:
- The holding of international congresses for the exchange of knowledge related to pig health and production.
- The promotion of the formation of Pig Veterinary Societies in all pig producing countries and promotion of cooperation between such societies.
- The provision of bursaries as rewards for outstanding research and the reporting of such research at IPVS congresses in either poster or oral format.
The first Congress was held in Cambridge, United Kingdom in 1969 and the second in Hannover, Germany in 1972.
The IPVS hosts biennial congresses, with past events held in countries like Germany, Brazil, China, Ireland, and Mexico…. The next congress (28th International Pig Veterinary Society (IPVS 2026) ) is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from June 16 to 19, 2026, hosted by Nong Lam University.
