Sustainable Production in Nutrition Industries:
O
An Adifo Software seminar
by Rebecca Sherratt, Features Editor, International Aquafeed
n October 3rd International Aquafeed had the pleasure to be invited to Adifo Software’s feed seminar, entitled ‘Sustainable Production in Nutrition Industries’, hosted inside the glamorous Villa Park, the famous Aston Villa football stadium in Birmingham, UK. Taking place over the course of one full day, the event featured eleven insightful presentations on feed formulation and nutrition with, as the title of the event suggests, a key emphasis on sustainability and responsible sourcing of ingredients. Although a wide variety of topics were covered at the event, I found each and every presentation extremely informative. I also appreciated how Adifo ensured to raise crucial questions regarding how we, as an industry, are expected to continue to feed our animals whilst also ensuring we source our ingredients responsibly.

BESTMIX Development Manager Karel Vervaet served as moderator for the event, opening the event by stating, “Adifo believe sustainability will only grow to become more and more important for the feed industry. This is reflected in our latest BESTMIX and MILOS innovations: innovation is key to Adifo”. The first presentation of the day was hosted by Lenny Dauw, Operations Manager for BESTMIX at Adifo. His presentation, entitled ‘BESTMIX Roadmap’ covered the various challenges Adifo have faced in improving their iconic BESTMIX product line. He also hinted at the newest addition to the BESTMIX family: BESTMIX SPECTRACK, which was discussed in more depth by his colleague Hans Hermus, Product Manager for BESTMIX.
