Nutritional Strategies for More Efficient Feed Utilization

Dr. Van Dyck discusses the challenge to increase the efficiency of the production of animal protein. Proposed solutions include the use of new raw materials in feed, such as Tapioca and Sorghum, that are not in direct competition with use in food and strategies to improve fat digestibility and absorption.

Nutritional Decision Making in Volatile Markets

With ingredient prices tied to the volatile energy sector, decision making has never been more challenging. An international panel will offer decision-making approaches and tools for dealing with this volatility.

Runting-Stunting & Malabsorption Syndromes: Twin Perspectives

A Pan-American panel looks at Runting-Stunting Syndrome and Malabsorption Syndrome from immunological and nutritional perspectives.

Subclinical Necrotic Enteritis: Identification, Prevention and Treatment

Subclinical necrotic enteritis, which can cost producers as much as 5 cents a pound in grow-out, may go unrecognized and untreated. Dr. Richard Ducatelle reivews how to learn about its identification, treatment and control.

Using All the Tools: Prebiotics, Probiotics, Enzymes and Competitive Exclusion

Dr. Peter Ferket, North Carolina State University, takes a look at new and\or potentially underutilized nutritional tools: prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes and competitive exclusion.

Feed Ingredients for Sustainable Aquaculture

Dr. Tacon's presentation will include his recently completed review of the demand and supply of feed ingredients to meet future aquaculture production, on behalf of FAO for a Global Conference on Aquaculture.

Feed Manufacturing: Altering the nutritional value and increasing output with process efficiency

Dr. McKinney draws on the vast knowledge base about feed processes at KSU to point to the ways in which aspects of manufacturing can alter the nutritional value of a feed product. Will Henry will focus on the extrusion of feeds and the two hot topics of how to maximize production capacity for a higher output and how to process the feed more efficiently, with a heavy emphasis on practical recommendations.

How to Feed High Yielding Dairy Cows to Maintain Milk Yield and Fertility

Dr. Garnsworthy will explain that a way has been found of solving a common problem in dairy cow nutrition -- that of feeding modern Holsteins to maximize feed utilization efficiency for milk production without compromising reproductive performance.

Mycotoxin Control: Dismissing myths and learning practical ways to achieve control

Dr Taylor-Pickard will highlight some misunderstandings that still exist in the feed business regarding the problems posed by mycotoxins and the actions taken against them. Dr Schatzmayr will present practical ways of achieving effective control of mycotoxins in feed materials.

New Thoughts on Feeding the Modern Laying Hen

Dr. Bregendahl will use his presentation to pick out some of the interesting new directions being tried internationally for the nutrition of high-performance egg layers.

The Role of Eggs in Meeting World Food Needs

Egg production is compatible with a wide variety of production systems ranging from village subsistence husbandry in underdeveloped nations to intensive commercial installations with full integration of components in industrialized countries. Compared to other livestock eggs offer a competitive feed conversion ratio as determined using edible product, or amino acid availability as the denominator.

Innovations from R&D in Animal Agriculture

Sustainable precision livestock farming is a way forward in a world in which animal production will increasingly be affected by many external factors. Simultaneously there is growing concern about food and its impact on health, and the impact of production methods on animal welfare and planetary resources. Throughout, producers are facing reduced profit margins. Sustainable precision livestock farming integrates the technological approach of precision livestock farming with the social and ecological aspects related with consumer and societal demands.
