Feed Strategy Seminar Series @ EuroTier 2024

Feed additive solutions for reducing emissions in livestock & poultry production

Location: Deutsch Messe, Hannover, Germany

SWINE SESSION | Nov. 12, 2024 | 16:00-16:50

POULTRY SESSION | Nov. 13, 2024 | 10:30-11:20

SWINE SESSION | Nov. 14, 2024 | 14:00-14:50

The 2024 Feed Strategy Seminar series, held at EuroTier 2024, will provide insights into feed additive solutions for emission reductions in animal production. The one-hour sessions will focus on practical, non-commercial, science-based approaches to improving swine and poultry’s environmental impact through feeding. Three species-specific tracks will span three days. Each seminar will feature two speakers presenting the latest animal feed additive research and solutions for emission reduction.

Admission is free.

Adaptogen: An innovative approach to animal stress management

Speaker: Professor Juan Carlos Illera Portal, Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Stress management in swine, during the grouping, regrouping, and aggressive behavior are long presented challenges which currently lacks effective solution for making animal stress free. However, the introduction of NR-Adaptogen offers a significant advancement in controlling the stress by demonstrating the ability to reduce cortisol levels by 50%. This finding is substantiated by evidence from studies examined in milk, cortisol, cholesterol, serum, and saliva, highlighting the potential of NR-Adaptogen to improve welfare and productivity in swine management.

  • Stress hormone in monogastric and its impact on animal productivity
  • Measurement of stress in swine
  • Factors responsible for aggressive behavior of swine
  • NR adaptogen, a natural solution for improving animal welfare and productivity
  • Exploration of technical science behind NR Adaptogen

Reducing the environmental impact of feed with nutritional strategies leading to low CO2 emissions

Speaker: Dr. Diana-Christin Siebert, technical marketing manager, CJ Bio

Resource-efficient broiler production remains a key challenge for the feed industry. Lowering the dietary crude protein concentration to reduce the nitrogen excretion can be an effective tool if essential amino acids are well balanced using supplementary amino acids to fulfil the animals’ requirements. Furthermore, adjustments of the major raw materials can be applied to reduce the global warming potential of the feed or to increase the overall circularity. Feed additives can provide efficient tools to fine-tune the environmental impact of feed. CJ BIO is the only amino acid company producing eight feed amino acids providing the industry with the tools needed to reduce their environmental impact of animal feed. With feed grade amino acids, it is possible to reduce the feed crude protein concentration

  • With feed grade amino acids, it is possible to reduce the feed crude protein concentration
  • Reduced of soybean meal content in feed is possible without compromising animals’ performance
  • Amino acids and a smart selection of raw materials are keys to create a low CO2-footprint feed

Phytate, from antinutrient to sustainable nutrient source: Approaches to pig feeding without inorganic phosphorous

Speaker: Dr. Peter Ader, senior expert - feed enzymes, BASF Animal Nutrition

Approximately 60-70% of the phosphorus (P) in feed plant seeds is bound to phytic acid and cannot be utilized by swine and poultry species. The enzyme phytase releases P from the phytate makes it digestible to the animal. By using feedstuffs rich in phytate-P and adequate phytase dosages complete inorganic P-free feeding of pigs from weaning to slaughter seems possible.

  • Antinutrient phytate and interaction with phytase
  • The use of phytase in animal nutrition, i.e. “phytase matrix”
  • Approaches to inorganic phosphorus-free feeding for maximized reduction of phosphorus excretion and saving of phosphate resources

BIOGRAPHIES

Dr. Peter Ader is BASF Animal Nutrition‘s senior expert on feed enzymes. He studied veterinary medicine in Hanover, Germany, and earned his Ph.D. in digestive physiology in Zürich, Switzerland. Later, he became assistant researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Animal Nutrition, Physiology and Metabolism at the University of Kiel in Germany. In 2000, he started his career in the feed industry, focusing on feed enzymes, mainly phytase, xylanase and glucanase. For 20 years, Ader has been involved in the development, registration and launch of several feed enzymes that are part of BASF’s current portfolio. In his position he has built up profound knowledge on practical feed enzyme application, but also on enzyme development and enzyme properties. Ader has co-authored to several peer-reviewed publications with a focus on pig and poultry.

Dr. Juan Carlos Illera is a professor at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) Department of Physiology – Animal Physiology. He earned his master’s degree in laboratory animal science at the University of California – Davis in the United States, and Doctorate in Official Postgraduate Program in Veterinary Sciences and graduate degree in Veterinary Medicine and Health Specialty from UCM in Spain.

Dr. Diana-Christin Siebert is a technical marketing manager with CJ Europe GmbH. In this position, she focuses on amino acids and specialties and scientific responsibilities for monogastric and ruminant trials with internal stakeholders and external partners. Prior to joining CJ Bio Europe, she worked in R&D with dog food manufacturer Futalis GmbH, and as a research assistant with the Institute of Animal Nutrition (ITE) in Germany. Siebert earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the Institute of animal nutrition in 2014.
