The countdown to the feed ingredients and additives conference, the FIAAP Conference Asia 2012, has begun and organisers said that with just 20 days left to register, places are going fast.

 

The FIAAP Conference is an integral part of the Victam/FIAAP/Grapas animal feed industry trade congress taking place in Bangkok from February 15-17, 2012.

 

Severe flooding in Bangkok at the end of 2011 made people reluctant to make commitments but now that the city has dried out, registrations have picked up their pace. Delegates need to reserve their places online at the conference website (www.feedconferences.com) and walk-ins will only be accepted on a space-available basis.

 

Delegates to the FIAAP Conference will have the opportunity to learn about the latest animal and aquatic feed solutions from some of the leading international experts. The programme will kick off with a presentation by Eric J. Brooks, senior analyst of eFeedLink and editor of FEED Business Worldwide, on the increasingly delicate balance between feed demand, feed supplies, unstable climate and biofuels in Asia and the Americas, and lead to a full day of technical talks listed below:
