Novus supports European Symposium through Diamond Sponsorship
Novus International, Inc. will be supporting the poultry industry and its innovative efforts through a Diamond Sponsorship of the 20th European Symposium on Poultry Nutrition (ESPN).
The company's commitment to industry-leading research in minerals, enzymes and carotenoids will be highlighted at this year's ESPN, which is set take place in Prague, Czech Republic on August 24-27.
More than 850 participants are expected to attend the event which offers industry representatives the opportunity to discuss critical topics in their respective fields.
In addition, Novus will present its latest advances in poultry nutrition with seven research posters. It will also host a lunch symposium on mineral environmental constraints during the conference.
The lunch symposium and discussion will be held on August 27 at the Prague Congress Center Plenary Room. Dr. Laura Star, a poultry nutrition researcher with Schothorst Feed Research, will present a topic titled, "Environmental constraints in poultry related to Zn, Cu and Mn".
"We recognise the need to protect the environment. We make the investments in technology that helps us to develop sustainable solutions for our customers," said Uwe Ranft, Novus' area general manager for Europe and the Middle East.
"For example, our MINTREX® chelated trace minerals are exceptional in their ability to optimise nutrition and enhance animal health and performance. MINTREX® is absorbed and used by the animal to a much greater degree when compared to other trace mineral sources. This maintains production efficiency with lower mineral inclusions, resulting in fewer minerals excreted and a positive impact on the environment."
