Lallemand Animal Nutrition appoints New Zealand country manager 
 

Lallemand Animal Nutrition, a major supplier of probiotics and silage inoculants technologies, announces the appointment of Alun Faulkner as country manager for New Zealand.

Faulkner will succeed Chris Whalley, managing director and founder of Lallemand's New Zealand subsidiary, Vitec Nutrition, ahead of Whalley's planned retirement from full time employment later this year. Whalley will continue to be closely involved with the Vitec Nutrition business on a part time basis, providing nutritional and technical support to a number of key accounts.

Faulkner joins Lallemand from his current position as National Technical Services Manager for Viterra New Zealand, a role he has held since 2008. Faulkner holds a Masters in Poultry Science from the University of Natal and previously worked for seven years as nutritionist and technical manager for the integrated poultry producer Tegel Foods prior to the sale and transfer in 2008 of its ruminant and third party monogastric feed milling business to Viterra.
