The high-quality program of the joint EAAP/FEFANA session will showcase the excellence of animal science pertaining to animal nutrition with an emphasis on practical application. The conference shall stimulate discussions on innovation within the domain of specialty feed ingredients targeted at meeting societal challenges with a focus on the mitigation of environmental impacts of livestock farming and the reduction of antibiotic use in view of tackling the threat of antimicrobial resistance.
The one-day meeting, that will be held on August 28, will be composed of two complementary sessions, with the morning session focusing on the state of science in the realm of specialty feed ingredients and society’s concerns, and the afternoon session presenting innovative solutions and success stories.
Prof. Em. Dr. Johanna Fink-Gremmels, chair of the one-day EAAP/FEFANA session said that “this meeting is the perfect occasion to build a bridge between latest developments and discoveries in science and practical application in the feed industry. EAAP and FEFANA are striving for strengthening the role of science as the basis for innovating animal nutrition and for building a more connected public-private network of expertise in the field.”
The session will be held at the 70th Annual Meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science in Ghent. The main theme of the meeting is ‘Animal farming for a healthy world’ and deals with topics such as resource efficiency, animal welfare, diversification, agro-ecology, climate change and product quality. The program covers various disciplines such as animal genetics, animal health and welfare, animal nutrition, animal physiology, livestock farming systems, cattle, horse, pig, sheep and goat production, precision livestock farming and insects.
