Aidan Connolly, vice-president, corporate accounts, Alltech, will speak before the global poultry industry on his vision for global poultry production in 2020 and the game-changers in the poultry production sector. Connolly’s talk is a part of the Nutritional and Feed Technologies programme, and will commence at 10:30am in the Iemanjá auditorium in the Bahia Salvador Convention Centre on Tuesday, August 7, 2012.
In addition, WPC 2012 will be the location for the launch of the Alltech Poultry Advantage Programme, which offers poultry companies a natural way of improving bird health and performance, thereby increasing profitability. The aim is to share Alltech’s resources, such as its worldwide network of researchers and technical experts, and work together with poultry companies to produce safe, healthy meat and eggs in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. More information will be provided at the Alltech Stand (Number 155).
“Now is the time for producers to move towards integrated solutions and produce meat and egg products which are fundamentally superior and which allow them to differentiate themselves. A tremendous opportunity exists in the gap between actual performance and the true genetic potential of these birds to produce more meat and more eggs.” said Connolly.
“It is a pleasure to host our customers and the poultry industry here in Brazil, home of our South American headquarters, a strategic market for Alltech’s development,” said Guilherme Minozzo, vice-president, Alltech South America. “This region supplies a large part of the South American and global avian markets from Alltech São Pedro, the largest yeast plant in the world, and allows us to offer support and open doors from South America to the rest of the world,” he concluded.
