Future of Feeds - Fermented Phytochemicals as Natural Antimicrobials in Feeds with Dr. Kalidas Shetty
About the Webinar.
Please join us Wednesday, January 26th at 9:00am (CST) for our "Future of Feeding" webinar series! This webinar series focuses on using innovation in the processing of animal food, the equipment being used (existing and newly developed), as well as using grains from our region for co-products. A new speaker will be featured each month.
This month will feature Dr. Kalidas Shetty, professor at North Dakota State University. Some key topics that will be discussed during his hour-long webinar include:
The prevalence of food borne pathogens in farm processed meat and poultry products
Targeting of natural phytochemical-based antimicrobial feeds to counter food borne pathogens as a safe and cost-effective alternative to synthetic antibiotics
Integrating and synergizing natural antimicrobials from phenolic enriched plant food sources (like colored corn and other compatible grains and byproducts) and recruiting LAB based fermentation to further enhance antimicrobial properties and design high-value animal feeds
So, mark your calendars! You wont want to miss this webinar!
