Nutriad sponsors Broiler Feed Quality Conferences in Asia 

With the Asean market preparing itself for increased regulation on the usage of antibiotics in animal feed, key decision makers of the poultry industry gathered at the Broiler Feed Conferences held in Bangkok (Augusts 16/17) and Jakarta August 21/22).

Dr. Daniel Ramirez, Business Development Manager Digestive Performance, presented a paper on "Responsible Use of Antibiotics and the Role of Functional Feed Additives after the AGP Ban". "There is a need for a target-released, precision-delivered butyrate, like ADIMIX PRECISION, not only for gut support, Clostridium control and gut healing, but especially for the extra benefit on the control of food safety associated challenges such as Salmonella and Campylobacter compared to other alternative products," Dr. Ramirez emphasised.

Nutriad also highlighted APEX 5, which contains a selection of botanicals, utilising quorum sensing technology as a basal programme. APEX 5 can be used independently or in combination with sodium butyrate.

Dr. Ramirez added, "The Asia pacific region is increasingly looking for natural solutions to improve animal performance and health. The Nutriad portfolio, combined with improved management practices, can support the reduction of AGP usage, as we have seen in other markets across the world."

Chew Boon Kee, Regional Director Asia Pacific, was pleased with the increased attendance of both events in Bangkok and Jakarta. The company considers the conferences as an effective way to directly interact with industry professionals and to show the market that Nutriad is ready to provide proven solutions should usage of AGPs be restricted or no longer allowed.
