At the beginning of the second day at VIV, the team were up early for preparations of the long awaited ‘Build my Feedmill’ rapid-fire two-hour conference, hosted on site in the conference room above the exposition. ‘Build my Feedmill’ comprised of 11 short presentations from industry voices, detailing the in’s and out’s of specific stages in the milling process. The innovative seminar programme reflected a unique approach to addressing the latest developments in the milling technology while explaining some of the basic steps in the feed manufacturing process. By displaying a simple flow chart, which followed the steps in milling in sequence, participating company speakers had just eight minutes to explain a process and outline latest updates relating to that step in production. Representatives from 10 companies at the forefront of milling technology used the opportunity that ‘Build my Feedmill’ provided to display the most recent developments in their milling equipment. The informative nature of presentations was emphasised by the fact that each speaker were given short speaking times, ensuring a concise and comprehensive picture being conveyed to the audience across a two-hour time slot. Mr Gilbert explains the base line of the project and what makes the concept such an important one, “The objective was not to take important feed industry experts away from their exhibition stands for long periods, nor to take up the valuable time of attendees, but to provide a concise step-bystep explanation of the feed production process and recent developments being made at each stage in the minimum amount of time possible.”
