Alltech's Annual Symposium<br />
Changes the Game in 2011<br />
[Lexington, KY] – Whether in sports competition or the game of life, there are turning points that elevate the underdog to<br />
victory, redefining the anonymous as the unforgettable. In the face of mounting challenges, how does one identify and<br />
seize these pivotal moments to create a catalyst for success? In Lexington, Kentucky, USA, from May 22-25, 2011,<br />
th<br />
Alltech's 27 Annual International Animal Health and Nutrition Symposium will be dedicated to just such a pursuit,<br />
exploring The Game Changers for the animal health and feed industries.<br />
“Today's challenges signal that it's time to rewrite the playbook,” said Dr. Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech.<br />
“Raw materials are becoming rare materials. Least-cost rations are but one example of failed strategy. Sustainability is<br />
questionable with conventional practices, and consumer confidence is tepid at best.”<br />
Alltech's 2011 International Symposium is intended to be an <strong>industry</strong> time-out, providing opportunities for professionals<br />
to huddle in specialised breakout sessions – including aquaculture, beef, dairy, equine, poultry, pig production, pet food,<br />
regulatory, food quality, traceability, and communication in agriculture. All sessions will be dedicated to the open<br />
discussion of creative game-changing strategies for revolutionising <strong>industry</strong> practices and thus redefining its future.<br />
“The clock is ticking. Our planet is expected to reach its 9 billion inhabitants apex by 2050,” said Dr. Lyons. “There is<br />
hope, however, for game-changers that will enable us to generate sustainable profitability, innovatively use new raw<br />
materials, and add value to conventional agricultural products all while maintaining resources for our planet.”<br />
Of particular note, plenary and breakout sessions will include focussed discussion on programmed nutrition;<br />
technology to maximise release of nutrients from DDGs and other feedstuffs; formulation to minimise nutrient waste;<br />
branding nutrition; sustainability strategies; and the use of new media in communicating directly with the consumer.<br />
The prestigious Medal of Excellence and Alltech Young Scientist Awards will also be presented during the Symposium.<br />
