IGP Institute engages USGC international professionals

As part of the US Grains Council Trade Team experience, a training focused on DDGS and sorghum usage in feed was held at Kansas State University

Food production technologies constantly develop due to the increase in global population. To keep up with the demand, those involved with food production are implementing new ingredients into their animal diets to include sorghum DDGS (dried distiller grains). To help educate those following the rising trend, the IGP Institute and the US Grains Council (USGC) hosted the Myanmar and Philippines DDGS and Sorghum Seminar. This course was held August 19-20, 2019 and hosted 11 industry professionals.

'We hosted participants from the Philippines and Myanmar who wanted to enhance the knowledge of adding sorghum DDGS into their feed,' says Carlos Campabadal, Feed Manufacturing and Grain Management outreach specialist.

'They were able to learn about several different topics including pelleting, export contracts, and how to formulate using DDGS and sorghum. They also toured Kansas State University's O.H. Kruse Feed Technology Innovation Centre,' Mr Campabadal says.

He adds, 'Participants received a lot of information in the two-day course. Our goal is that this will improve how their companies operate and increase the overall efficiency of their organisations.'

Course participant Rochi Aldeguer, procurement associate for San Miguel PureFoods Company, Inc., shares what she will take away from her experience at the IGP Institute.

'This course was extremely beneficial to me, because we are looking into using sorghum DDGS as a part of our raw material ingredients,' Ms Aldeguer says. 'One of the things I will take back to the Philippines is how to properly incorporate DDGS for hog and broiler diets to increase quality.'

In addition to feed manufacturing and grain quality management, the IGP Institute offers courses in the areas of grain marketing and risk management and flour milling and grain processing.
