Opinion

"Tortuga, the greater nutrition and animal health company in Brazil, is always acting in the pork production since its foundation in 1954. This is the second consecutive time that the company is participating of Pork Expo, the biggest Latin American event in the pork sector. Tortuga will launch some products at Pork Expo and will count on its professional team to give attention to the national and foreign visitors that are each time more interested in knowing our modern production system. All this persistence has as an objective to fortify the swine productive chain, since Tortuga is compromised to the sector being actively part of the 50 years that the Brazilian Association of the Swine Creators (ABCS) is completing this year" (Daniel Andaluz, Tortuga marketing coordenator)

According to José Adão Braun, ABCS (Brazilian Association of the Swine Creators) ex president, Pork Expo is a "great event" withou a doubt. All Pork Expo´s edition had been successful, not only for the participants number, but for the scientific content. Braun believes that Pork Expo is a highest-level meeting and thinks that the 2006 edition will surely be even better than the previous years.
