USSEC virtual webinars hosted in Southeast Asia now available in video format

Video recordings of a series of fourteen virtual webinars in the Southeast Asian (SEA) region hosted by the US Soybean Export Council (USSEC) in November last year are now available for viewing on demand, USSEC announced last month.

During the events, over 530 food industry and livestock industry stakeholders registered for the series, which focused on the use of soy in animal, aquaculture and human nutrition.

More than 20 industry and technical experts worldwide presented on a variety of topics, including soy for human consumption. Participants explored the health and nutritional benefits of soy, reviewing the regulatory landscape surrounding soy foods. New technologies relevant to soy foods and beverage processing in Southeast Asia were also presented.

Those focused on soy for animal feed discussed animal feed practices and formulations. Speakers worked to break them down for the audience to show the optimum nutrient values of soy and its contribution to animal performance. Soy was positioned as an overall nutritional bundle aimed at increasing production efficiency and profitability in both poultry and pig feed formulations.

The final topic of the series was soy in aquaculture, where participants engaged in sessions promoting the use of soy in formulated feeds for aquaculture production. Presenters explained the advantage of sustainable US soy-based aquafeeds while addressing the latest issues and concerns in the aquaculture industry.

The series aimed at providing industry professionals in Southeast Asia with the latest developments in US soy while also addressing concerns brought on by COVID-19.

Each webinar is available for viewing online.
