WEBINAR DUTCH POULTRY CENTRE

15 JUNE 2021

DPC (Dutch Poultry Centre), partner of VIV worldwide, kicked off the VIV Europe 2022 FEED SERIES by organizing a webinar about feed security, health and environment. Their inspiring speakers pitched solutions and joined the panel discussion. 
Date: 15 June, 2021

Topics
Feed security
Feed formulation fulfills an essential role by providing additional resources for higher yields and productivity in food, as well as to balance imports and adapt to local production circumstances.

Health
Healthy animals, healthy humans. Feed formulations hold the key to: a better prevention from animal diseases (and eventually zoonosis), less(er) use of anti biotics, boosting higher yields and not in the least: animal welfare.

Environment
Commodities for feed production and feed formulations contribute significantly in reaching sustainability goals: (commodity) production methods & transportation, (carbon dioxide  and ammonia) emissions, land use and water management.
