Pancosma to focus on non-nutrition at CLANA 2016

Pancosma will be participating at the 7th congress of the Colegio Latino Americano de Nutricion Animal, in Cancun, Mexico, from 10 - 14 October 2016. Dr. David Bravo, Pancosma’s Chief Innovation Officer, has been invited by the scientific committee of CLANA to chair a symposium entitled, ‘Non-nutrition, the future of animal nutrition.’ In February this year, Pancosma launched the non-nutrition concept, a new addition to its series of concepts for animal nutrition. Non-nutrition builds on the legacy of the revolutionary ‘Gut Effects’ concept first developed by the company, and promoted as Intelligent Gut Action. This novel concept reveals the increasingly important role of a category of dietary compounds, called non-nutrients, and their effects, which extend beyond the benefits of nutrients to positively impact animal productivity. Non-nutrients, defined as substances with no nutritional value, can be integrated into nutritional strategies, to optimize the animal diet, maximize productivity and lower feed costs.
The invited speakers at the symposium will focus on the non-nutritional effects of phytonutrients used in animal feed. Feed additives based on plant extracts have been receiving a lot of attention due to the potential of phytonutrients to replace antibiotic growth promoters. The symposium will take place at Hotel Fiesta Americana, Salon A on Wednesday 12 October 2016, from 9:15 am – 1:15pm, and will feature the following speakers:
  • David Bravo, Pancosma (Chair): introductory talk
  • Dr. John Furness, University of Melbourne, Australia: The gut is an intelligent sensory organ; impact for phytonutrients
  • Dr. Hyun Lillehoj, US Department of Agriculture, USA: Overview of the immune response to phytonutrient in poultry
  • Dr. Yanhong Liu, University of California, Davis, USA: Immune response to phytonutrient in pigs, focus on antioxidant response
  • Dr. Vasil Pirgosliev, Harper Adams University, UK: Phytonutrients alter energy partitioning in poultry: the link with nutrition
  • Dr. Joon Oh, Pennsylvania State University, USA: Phytonutrients alter energy partitioning in dairy cows: the link with nutrition
