Aquafeed Horizons 2011

Aquafeed continues to be the most dynamic and exciting sector of the feed industry. Characterized by rapid growth and development, it is continually evolving to meet the demands of new species and farm production systems. Unlike terrestrial animals, nutritional requirements for many of the growing and hugely diverse range of aquatic species farmed are still unknown. Add to that the physical demands of feed for differing aquatic environments, feeding habits, and sizes and the complexity becomes clear. Aquafeed manufacturers must also rise to the challenges of environmental responsibility, production efficiency and profitability. Aquafeed Horizons 2011 will arm delegates with the latest processing and formulation information to meet head on the challenges facing this sector and succeed.

Please note: PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Walk-ins will only be accepted on a space available basis.
