Details of Alltech’s 27th European Lecture Tours have been announced. This year, the series of talks, which runs from March 11-21, 2013, is titled Stay Curious: Can Advanced Nutritional Technology Deliver EPS
(Efficiency, Profitability and Sustainability).
“Concerns about feed, feed ingredients and the effects of high
performance rations on the environment, finite resource depletion,
animal welfare, health and, ultimately, the health of consumers
themselves, have come to the fore and placed feed in the spotlight. In
order for producers to remain efficient, sustainable and profitable we
need to revolutionise the way we feed our animals and our world. Join us
in March as we share new technologies and ideas that will pave the way
for the future of the agricultural industry,” said Pat Charlton, vice
president Europe, Alltech.

The Federal Government in Nigeria is constructing silos throughout
the country as part of a wider drive to improve the agricultural chain. The
silos, some of which are due for completion in April 2013, will help boost
grain reserves, price stability and food security.
During a tour of ten silos being built in Igbariam, Anambra
State, Labaran Maku, Minister of Information said, “The purpose of grain
reserve is for the nation’s food security. The nation can come under disaster,
can come under drought. They can come in different ways, it could be war in
some instances leading to food insecurity.”
