UK food and drink research centre Campden BRI have made a foray into animal nutrition with the announcement of its ‘Safety and quality of livestock feed’ seminar, to be held at their Chipping Campden base on 6 March, 2014.

Using as a starting point the increasing demands placed on manufacturers by global feed markets and changes in livestock production, the seminar will explore animal feed issues from
a number of different perspectives. A packed programme covers a varied range of topics, from feed safety regulations and food chain nutritional studies, to focuses on developments in the poultry, ruminant and aquaculture sectors.

Renowned feed journalist and Grain & Feed Milling Technology publisher Roger Gilbert will chair the discussions. Gilbert maintained that the seminar represents a golden opportunity for the industry.

“If we are ever going to feed 9 billion people by 2050, then the quality and nutritional value of feed ingredients, not to mention how we source them, must be a central concern. For many this statement will be a matter of course.

However, maintaining high levels of quality in ingredients while ensuring they are sustainably managed is becoming a major challenge.

“Having been a founding member of the International Feed Industry Federation and having served as its Secretary-General for more than 20 years, this topic is extremely close to my heart. It is a privilege to work in close collaboration with as innovative and forward-thinking an organisation as Campden BRI, and I look forward to playing a part in keeping these issues at the forefront of feed research and development.”
