Hamlet Protein sponsors Passion for Pigs Seminar in Missouri, US
Hamlet Protein recently sponsored the Passion for Pigs Seminar and Trade Show that was held in Sedalia, Missouri, the United States, in November.
Passion for Pigs aims to bring the latest cutting-edge research, world renowned speakers and provide time for interaction between the audience and industry leaders.
Megan Bible, Hamlet Protein's technical manager, presented on how anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) can impact swine performance and how what options are available to swine producers to avoid the harmful impact of ANFs.
Bible explained: "Even though soy is an excellent vegetable protein, soy also contains components which can hinder the digestibility in the gut of the young animal. Ensuring the lowest possible anti-nutritional factors in soybean-based ingredients is key to improving the performance, health and welfare of animals. Hamlet Protein is a renowned expert delivering specialty protein ingredients with minimum ANF content, through our patented bio conversion process."
Attendees of the event discussed the outlook for North American swine producers. 2023, so far, has been a particularly challenging year for the industry that saw losses tied to high raising costs and the closure of a few processing facilities. Even though feed costs are expected to see some decline in 2024, producers will still face high raising costs while pork demand will only show a limited recovery. These issues drive the discussion on how productivity and performance can be improved.
Grady Fain, regional director (NCA) at Hamlet Protein, commented: "We are proud to be sponsoring the Passion for Pigs Seminar and Trade Show and support the event with a Hamlet Protein speaker. Hamlet Protein is an established brand in piglet nutrition as our unique protein solutions efficiently increase productivity through better health status and trouble-free weaning. The Passion for Pigs event provides us with a great opportunity to engage with our customers."
