Pancosma successfully launches XTRACT Dairy to Japan
Following the success of XTRACT for pigs, calves and poultry, XTRACT Dairy
was launched to the Japanese feed market in July this year.
The cities of Tokyo, Kumamoto, Kitami and Obihiro welcomed over 400 local government
officials, veterinarians and dairy nutritionists for the events. The conference
featured a keynote address by Dr. Sergio Calsamiglia from the Autonomous University
of Barcelona, Spain who elaborated on strategies to improve dairy cow performance.
This was followed by a review of farm management perspectives by dairy consultant,
Dr. Shinji Takenaka. Dr. Chris Kamel, Technical Director of the Bioactives Division
of Pancosma, closed the conference with the presentation of the five-years of
research and development behind XTRACT Dairy. With milk prices around 90 Yen (€0.65)
at the farm level, much interest was generated from the battery of animal trials
with the product from around the globe, showing increases of 1,5 litres of daily
milk production and increased fat and protein yields.
