OQ is launching its series of webinars, themed ‘Connect.Learn.Do’, commencing on 10th of February, with a webinar entitled ‘Modern feeding practice for high-performing farm animals’, exploring the benefits to farmers, farm animals and the global food supply chain of feed additives, specifically n-Butyric acid derivatives.
The webinar aims to provide the latest insights on how n-Butyric acid derivatives work and the role they play in feeding farm animals according to highest quality standards. Professionals from across the feed, food and agriculture industries will attend the webinar to connect with our expert, find out about benefits of OQ’s n-Butyric derivatives and learn how to achieve better animal welfare and safety.
Presenting the event is Dr. Jens Klabunde, Global Segment Head Feed, Food & Agriculture, who will seek perspectives of the scientifically proven benefits of n-Butyric acid as a key raw material for butyrates and butyrins. Subjects will include mechanisms for contributing to better immune response, pathogen and diarrhea control and better feed conversion.
Commenting on the webinar, Dr. Klabunde explains that, “The inherently sustainable nature of using feed additives like n-Butyric acid derivatives in farm feed is becoming increasingly understood by farmers and other players in the agri-food sector. Sales of n-Butyric acid derivatives are growing steeply because of their unique characteristics as nutritional feed component. We hope through this webinar that the material properties that underpin the success of n-Butyric acid derivatives can be explored and understood by a wide audience of stakeholders within the industry.”
OQ’s n-Butyric acid AF (animal feed grade) is a synthetic chemical produced and handled according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point). Its role as a first-choice key precursor material for beneficial feed additives has grown since the ban of antibiotic growth promoters in the European Union, North America and Asia in recent years. Feeding of special additives like n-Butyric acid derivatives can compensate losses in livestock productivity as a result of the removal of antibiotic growth promoters.
The ‘Modern feeding practice for high-performing farm animals’ Webinar will be held on Wednesday 10 February 2021 at 15.00 CET hrs. Click here to register.
