LETTER FROMTHEEDITOR After the first half of the year, the figures on the evolution of the Spanish pork sector are more than positive, with prices up 30% over those registered a year ago. On the other hand, the forecasts of reference agencies, such as the USDA or Rabobank, indicate that the market will remain stable, so it seems that this will be an extraordinary year. However, not everything is a bed of roses, because the sector has major challenges ahead.

From the point of view of health, the need to reduce the use of antibiotics is coming ever closer, so the sector needs to seek and apply alternatives. In this sense, biosecurity is the main tool to protect the farms from disease. As regards equipment, at Rotecna we are working to offer highly hygienic products, such as polypropylene separating panels, easy to clean and more efficient than other materials health-wise. On the other hand, in this issue we present the cover for the Feeding Ball hopper. This protects the feed from the environmental factors and animals that can endanger the feed quality and be carriers of diseases. The entry of any pathology could be devastating for the sector. Finally, one of the challenges to face is to be responsible from an environmental point of view. In this regard, it is essential to carry out correct and respectful management of the livestock waste products from the farms. Precisely, with this in mind we create TecnaPur, a brand under which the TP-01 Solid Separator is marketed together with an extensive and innovative range that we will be presenting throughout this year. At Rotecna, we continue in the forefront of innovation in pig farming, and we provide solutions to the main problems in the sector, with new ideas for new challenges. Gener Romeu
