About DPP North America

To facilitate the activities of the DPP–2012, a non-profit entity called DPP–North America (NA) was established in Illinois with assistance from FASS, Inc. in 2010. The stated mission of DPP–NA was “in cooperation with European academic colleagues, to establish triennial venues that present the most current research and discovery information relative to digestive physiology of pigs.”
