Novus appoints Regional Technical Services Manager - Central and West India
Dr Satyajit Jagtap has been appointed by Novus as Regional Technical Services Manager - West and Central India, based in Pune.
"His appointment will expand our regional support to get closer to our customers and grow our presence in the rapidly expanding Indian market," said Dr. Vaibhav Nagpal, Sales Director South Asia for Novus Animal Nutrition (India) Pvt. Ltd
Dr. Jagtap has a Masters in Animal Nutrition from Anand Veterinary College. Previously, he has worked as a nutritionist for Godrej Agrovet Ltd and Goldmohur Food and Feeds Ltd, where he formulated feeds for poultry, cattle and aquaculture. Besides formulation, his relevant commercial experience includes nutrition, quality assurance, material management, production management and process improvement.
Dr Jagtap's industry experience and practical knowledge will be vital in his new role supporting Novus customers by providing "Health through Nutrition" solutions with their growing range of animal health and nutritional programmes and products.
Novus offers extensive technical expertise and many of the products needed to support profitable and sustainable production. A good example of how Novus works with customers in meaningful ways is through the "Feed Cost Reduction" programme. "This programme helps our customers manage the single most important and costly input," said Dr. Jagtap. With increasing cost of raw materials, he sees a growing role for Novus's heat stable, protease enzyme CIBENZAâ„¢ DP100 to reduce diet costs.
He said, "Extensive trial and commercial experience in Asia and other world areas has demonstrated that CIBENZA DP100 allows significant cost savings by improving the protein digestion (amino acid availability), without compromising animal performance. Using CIBENZA DP100 also allows producers to use a wider variety of cost-effective proteins, while maintaining the performance levels associated with more expensive feed ingredients."
