WHY FEED CONGRESS?
This high level conference explores how the European animal feed industry and its feed additive suppliers strengthen Europe’s global competitiveness through high-quality, sustainable animal protein production. The event examines how science-based measures and new technologies used throughout the feed supply chain reduce and improve animal agriculture’s environmental footprint while delivering value to the consumer.
Feed industry stakeholders attend this forum to glean leading-edge insights, best practices and proven feed additive solutions to address critical sustainability issues while maintaining productivity and profitability in poultry and livestock production.
PROGRAM
12:00 – 13:00 | Registration & Coffee
13:00 – 13:45 | KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Future-proof food production: How the feed industry will fortify the European animal protein sector
Speakers: Coen Smits, director of sustainability, Trouw Nutrition
An overview of recent development and future challenges in the European animal protein sector, with emphasis on the implications for the feed industry. The presentation will highlight the critical role that feed and feed additives will play in future sustainable animal protein production in Europe and address some strategic directions for innovation.
13:45 – 14:15 | How feed ingredient analysis supports a more sustainable value chain
Speaker: Pierre-Joseph Paoli, president – feed additives & ingredients, ADM Animal Nutrition
Assessing the environmental impact of feed additives and ingredients, from the extraction of raw materials through processing, transport, use and disposal, provides baseline measures valued by suppliers and producers. Understanding environmental outputs at each stage of the product life cycle enables all those within the animal nutrition supply chain to evaluate opportunities to reduce and improve their environmental footprint. ADM’s Pierre-Joseph Paoli, president of feed additives & ingredients, will speak to the how and why ADM is analyzing the life cycle of its animal nutrition products produced around the world.
14:15 – 15:00 | Feed’s role in achieving net zero
Speaker: David Nickell, vice president – sustainability & business solutions, DSM Animal Nutrition and Health
Focus on how feed, feed formulations, feed additives and sourcing can be leveraged to meet a corporation’s sustainability goals, improve production, sustainability and result in upstream returns.
15:00 – 15:30 COFFEE BREAK
15:30 – 16:00 | Sustainability through feed formulation strategies
Speaker: Dr. Carlos Dapoza, senior business manager – Mediterranean, EVONIK
This segment will examine the role of feed on the environmental impact of animal production. There will be a focus on low crude protein diets and the use of supplemental amino acids.
