European Tour: Master amino acid balance

The event, which will be held in collaboration with Prof. Charles Schwab
from the University of New Hampshire in the US, will take place in 6 countries
around Europe, with the aim of further extending scientific knowledge and
showing practical economic benefits achieved from amino acids.

The adoption of the concept of balancing diets for amino acids continues to
increase in the US and Europe. However, the increase in the rate of
implementation, as measured largely by sales of protected methionine (Met), has
been tied largely to differences in milk prices and feed costs with adoption
being slowest when feed costs are high and prices for milk and milk protein are
lower. However, in Prof. Schwab’s experience, even when milk prices have been at
their lowest, long-term financial benefits could be realised by balancing for
amino acids.

Dr Lyndon Davies of Kemin states that Prof. Schwab, who is widely
recognised for his research on amino acid nutrition of dairy cattle, has made
over 100 presentations at dairy nutrition conferences and workshops in the last
10 years on the application of advances in amino acid and protein nutrition for
more efficient use of feed protein for milk production. “After his highly
respected lecture at our European Conference in Belgium last year, we
immediately decided to invite Prof. Schwab again for a tour to 6 different
European countries to give our customers the opportunity to have in depth
discussions taking into account their local conditions. In addition to Prof.
Schwab every conference will have well known local speakers from Research
Centres, Universities or the industry,” says Davies.
