The objective of the International postgraduate seminar ‘Advances in feed evaluation’ (April 11-15 in Wageningen, the Netherlands) is to provide a concise update on the principles of feed evaluation as applied to the livestock industries. Our knowledge of the effects of specific nutrients and anti-nutrients on metabolism and ultimately animal performance has expanded rapidly over the last decade.
This has increased the need to accurately define the available nutrient content of animal feeds. In addition, some major advances have been made in chemical analyses and other laboratory assays that allow us to better characterise nutrient content and availability in feedstuffs. The Seminar Advances in feed evaluation science is intended for nutritionists, feed formulation, advisors, managers, teachers, researchers and professionals involved in animal feed manufacture.
Topics at the seminar will be presented by:
Prof. J.L. Black, John L. Black Consulting, Warrimoo University of Sydney, Australia.
Prof. W.H. Hendriks, Animal Nutrition Group, Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands.
Prof. P.J. Moughan, Massey University, Riddet Institute, Palmerston North New Zealand.
Prof C.F.M. De Lange, University of Guelph, Department of Animal and Poultry Science, Guelph, Canada. Read more...
