Addcon talks about green chemistry in Vietnamese seminar

 

Addcon has recently participated in a technical seminar organised in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, by Nguyen Duc Nghia, director of Auviets, on March 18.

The event was attended by more than 50 participants who were representing major feed mills and poultry companies in southern Vietnam.

During his presentation, Nghia emphasised on the need for occasional interaction between nutritionists and technical experts from the different parts of the world. This would help them to be more updated with the rapidly advancing technologies.

Kurt Wegleitner, Addcon's managing director, gave a brief introduction of Addcon and discussed on the wastage of raw materials for feed as well as the importance of its preservation.

Wegleitner stressed on the use of organic acids, a green chemistry way to preserve the valuable raw materials without any adverse impact on the environment.

Dr. Anant Deshpande, regional manager for Addcon, discussed about the use of organic acids as the most suitable alternative to the antibiotic. He focused more on double salt technology and its advantage over antibiotics in controlling pathogenic bacteria in chicken guts.

Dr. Ying Kang Chang, Addcon's customer relationship manager, discussed about the company's products that can support the industry in the preservation of feed, thus increasing its shelf life and most importantly, improving the performance of birds.
