zinc oxide alternative - pigs

Zinc oxide alternative by 2022 – Webinar

Hear about the Pancosma feed additive synergistic approach as a zinc oxide alternative in a webinar hosted by Misset, Group, through All About Feed media.

Our 3 speakers came together to discuss opportunities and challenges awaiting European pig producers due to the Zinc Oxide ban in June 2022.

We invited Professor emerita Hanne Damgaard Poulsen from the Aarhus University, to provide an independent perspective on how the role of zinc in weanling piglet diets will change next year and explain in practical terms what this means for the actions producers need to take and the challenges they may encounter.

Her talk is followed by Sebastien Constantin, Business Development Manager and Dr. Richard Sygall, Customer Technical Services Director EMEA from Pancosma. They present a synergistic approach using feed additives from Pancosma to support feeding strategies for successful and more sustainable piglet production post ZnO ban.
