Nutriad hosts seminars on AGP alternatives and mycotoxins in Malaysia

Nutriad, together with its local distribution partner Pahang Pharmacy, hosted a series of technical seminars on Antibiotic Growth Promoter Alternatives and Mycotoxin Risk Management for producers across Malaysia.

Dr. Glenn Alfred Ferriol, Nutriad Area Manager for Philippines, Indonesia & Malaysia, presented the "Importance of a Precision Delivered Butyrate (ADIMIX PRECISION^®) in Gut Health of Poultry & Swine", emphasising the need to deliver the butyrate all throughout the digestive tract. Recent data was presented on the control of necrotic enteritis in broilers, the impact on egg production and egg shell quality for layers and breeders, and the important benefit in the control of Salmonella spp and Campylobacter. A recent study on the effect of ADIMIX Precision on Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea (PED) was also presented.

Dr. Ferriol also presented "The NUTRIAD Mycotoxin Risk Management Approach for Poultry and Swine", in which he emphasised the need for a complete approach in dealing with mycotoxin contamination in the raw materials. The step-by-step process was presented together with the services that Nutriad can offer, from raw material screening to the application of specific mycotoxin deactivators with the use of MYCOMAN^®, an application developed by Nutriad to help farmers, feed millers and integrators select the right mycotoxin deactivator for specific species, age and feeding programme.

Dr. Chu Bee Sin, product manager for Pahang Pharmacy, announced that the registration process of the Nutriad mycotoxin deactivators in Malaysia was completed successfully and that the range of products (TOXY-NIL^®, TOXY-NIL^® PLUS & UNIKE^®) is available in market.
