Alltech tour addresses elevated feed costs

The theme for the tour is “The Feed Cost Puzzle: Performance or Profitability?” During the tour there will be a forum to share information and learn how the latest technologies and practices can sustain and elevate the animal feed industry.

High levels of demand (for biofuels, higher consumption) promise to drive global corn prices even higher and make it more difficult for producers to feed their animals. Alltech’s lecture tour will address these issues by examining ways to maintain performance and profitability in the face of increasing feed costs.

Last year’s tour, which focused on the growing debate over ethanol between the food, feed and fuel industries, drew more than 2,000 people across Europe, Middle East and Africa. The Africa/Middle East leg of the 2008 lecture tour will be announced shortly.
