Engormix.com in Alltech´s International Symposium

The Engormix.com team was present at Alltech´s 25^th International Animal Health and Nutrition Symposium "The Sustainability Principle", held at Lexington, Kentucky. From the 17^th to the 20^th of May, Engormix.com filmed several interviews to the lecturers, to Alltech´s representatives to Latin America, and to numerous key businessmen from the international agro-industry.

To distinguish the 25^th annual meeting, Alltech hosted the 'Great Debate' on Sustainability. Here, representatives from the consumer food market and from the animal production industry discussed the 'PACE Principle' with the aim of exploring the viability of sustainability initiatives in the animal production industry. This principle comprised, among other items, the need of reaching long term profitability being conscious of animal health, answering to the consumer´s needs and respecting the environment. To this challenge responded various industry speakers, representing the dairy, beef, poultry, pig, ruminant, equine and aquaculture species groups.

Topics within each species session included discussions on: the importance of nucleotides in early diets; the use of multi-enzyme complexes to release maximum energy from both traditional diets and non-traditional diets containing ingredients such as higher fibre; and immune modulatory compounds. The meeting  also explored opportunities in the area of novel mycotoxin binders. The sessions included information on the interactions between inorganic and organic minerals and their overall interaction with compounds in a premix.
