Celebrating 25 Years of Innovation at Feedworks Conference 2024
In mid-September 2024, the vibrant community of animal nutrition specialists gathered at the scenic Twin Waters Resort on the Sunshine Coast for the Feedworks Conference, marking a significant milestone: 25 years of commitment to nutrition and sustainability. This year's conference was not just about celebrating the past, but it was also a platform to unveil the latest research and innovations shaping the future of the industry.
Expert Panels that Set the Stage
The conference kicked off with an evening of networking and knowledge sharing, where attendees engaged in a thought-provoking panel discussion titled “The Good, The Looks Good, and The Maybe Good.” Moderated by Dr. Kristy DiGiacomo, the panel comprised leading experts including Professor Roselina Angel and Professor Mike Allen. Their insights highlighted emerging trends and balancing skepticism with optimism in animal nutrition.
Highlighting Global Trends in Nutrition
The agenda on Day 2 was packed with influential talks beginning with Professor Roselina Angel’s exploration of monogastric nutrition. Topics covered included the essential roles of calcium, phosphorus, and Vitamin D in maintaining optimal health for livestock. In a global perspective, Dr. Gerardo Santoma from the Spanish Foundation showcased innovative approaches in broiler and swine nutrition, offering attendees a look into Europe's evolving production systems.
Crucial Insights into Animal Health
Sessions throughout the conference emphasized critical aspects of animal health, including enzyme technology, mineral roles in immunity, and mycotoxin management. The diverse topics provided professionals with actionable insights that could directly improve their operations, particularly in maintaining animal welfare and enhancing feed management practices.
Looking to the Future of Animal Nutrition
The final day was equally impactful, with sessions addressing swine and poultry nutrition trends. Dr. Stephanie Sammes presented strategies for mitigating heat stress in beef feedlots, which is increasingly important in our changing climate. These discussions not only reflected current challenges but also showcased the industry's commitment to sustainable practices.
The Feedworks Conference 2024 served as a vital opportunity for those in the poultry industry—from managers to executives—to gain insights that could enhance operational efficiency and animal upbringing practices, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for the sector.
