Nutriad presents research data about sensory imprinting on piglets

Multinational feed additives producer Nutriad was a Gold Sponsor of the recently concluded Pig Feed Quality Feed Conference (PQFC) in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

Attracting a record number of delegates, the annual PQFC is Asia's leading conference and scientific forum for pig and feed industry professionals. 

At the conference, Dr Bruno Silva, professor in swine nutrition and production of Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Brazil said that nutritional solutions need to be able to alleviate heat stress in pigs, and widely discussed his work on evaluation of feed flavor (KRAVE - Delistart-K Link) supplementation on the performance of lactating sows and sensory imprinting on piglets post-weaning in hot and humid climates.

BK Chew (pictured, left), Nutriad's APAC director, said: "Dr Silva's presentation of the latest research on sensory imprinting or linking sow diet to that of her litter, created a lot of excitement with the delegates, fitting into the PQFC theme, "Translating Pig Nutrition Research into Practice"."

Ab Greven (pictured, right), APAC palatability manager, commented: "The conference provided an excellent platform for Nutriad to showcase the latest scientific findings of our feed flavor applications, particularly on KRAVE and Delistart K-link, which incidentally was registered this month in Vietnam. Our palatability range also includes the well-known Optisweet and Maxarome."
