Hamlet Protein sponsors American Society of Animal Science event in Wisconsin, US

 

Hamlet Protein recently sponsored an annual meeting of the US Midwest section of the American Society of Animal Science held in Madison, Wisconsin, the United States.

A delegation from the company attended the Midwest ASAS event that was held on March 10-13, and technical manager Dr. Megan Bible presented on the latest insights in protein kinetics and sow feeding.

ASAS fosters the discovery, sharing and application of scientific knowledge concerning the care and responsible use of animals to enhance animal and human health and well-being. The organisation was first established in 1908 and has ever since promoted education, innovation and networking of industry professionals and academia.

Grady Fain, regional director (NCA) at Hamlet Protein, said: "We are proud to be sponsoring the annual meeting of ASAS. The event offers a wonderful opportunity to engage with opinion leaders, industry friends and customers and keep abreast of the most recent scientific developments in our market."

Dr. Bible, technical manager Hamlet Protein, presented on protein kinetics and options to drive the performance of lactating sows through improved feed formulation.

"Knowing the protein kinetics of a protein source allows nutritionists to formulate diets with a higher protein biological value, optimising animal performance and therefore feed cost, and reducing nitrogen excretion into the environment," said Dr. Bible. "We notice a strong interest to learn more about the importance of speed of protein digestion and how Hamlet Protein can help optimise young animal nutrition."
