Webinar: Young Animal feed
To maximise animal performance, it is of pivotal to optimise the first days or weeks of life (the neonate phase). Investing in young animals delivers greater returns, which is reflected in reaching slaughter sooner, heavier animals, better egg production, better fertility or higher milk yields.
This webinar is organized All About Feed. With speakers from Schothorst Feed Research, Darling ingredients and Royal Agrifirm Group, the webinar will air at May 4, at 15:00 CET. This special webinar will bring you all the latest developments and insights regarding young animal nutrition.
