Some of the attendees of the program were Dr Daniel Gareca Cow (National Programs Coordinator of SENASAG Animal Health), Dr Raul Paniagua Barriga (Departmental Coordinator for Animal Health - Chuquisaca), Dr Eduardo Romero (Head of Swine Health - Santa Cruz) and Dr Marco Antonio Martinez Batallanos (Head of Swine Health - Tarija).
