Alltech has announced the dates for its 22nd Asia-Pacific Lecture Tour which will focus on finding answers to some of the major issues facing the animal feed industry.

Rising feed costs, managing in a time of crisis, sustaining and growing business in the current environment are just some of the topics that will be discussed by speakers in the lecture tour themed 'The Sustainability Principle - securing long term profitability in a period of crisis'. 

The tour will commence in Tokyo, Japan on June 15 and will visit 24 locations before concluding in Coimbatore, India on Thursday June 25.

Alltech's Founder and President, Dr. Pearse Lyons, said recent volatility and inconsistency in the agri-feed industry has lead to global unease and it is hoped that sharing and discussing can help the industry to emerge stronger from these turbulent times and turn current crises into opportunities.

During his presentation, Dr. Lyons will share his ideas on what he sees as the six pillars of growth and will examine how through strong leadership, innovation and crisis management companies will be able to turn current challenges into long lasting opportunities.

Alltech will present the following:

• 'The Nutrigenomics basis of antioxidants - improving animal performance.' 
   
• 'Complete Solution - unmasking the myth behind the magic'
   
• New challenges posed by mycotoxins and the evolution of a fast effective solution
