[LEXINGTON, Ky.] — Eight regional winners will move to the next level in the 11th annual Alltech Young Scientist program, the largest global university contest of its kind that rewards scientific genius and experimental application in agriscience.
A panel of leading scientists selected four undergraduate and four graduate winners for the 2016 competition. Students were challenged to submit research studies that demonstrated a keen awareness of science and its applications for improving the future of the world.
[BANGKOK] – Alltech is pleased to announce the appointment of Octavio Eckhardt to the role of technical team coordinator, Asia-Pacific, based in Bangkok.
Matthew Smith, Alltech vice-president, commented, “We are very pleased to have Octavio on our team. He is an exceptional candidate with a long track record and I am confident he will lead our technical team in providing outstanding support to our customers.”
[SHEPPARTON, Australia] – Born from dairy cooperatives in two small villages in India, Amul has grown to become the largest dairy producer in India by volume, collecting nearly 15 million litres of milk per day. This year, Amul will manufacture more than three million tonnes of dairy feed to keep up with demand for milk, making it the largest cattle feed producer in Asia. The company’s three-fold growth over the past 12 months clearly illustrates India’s position as the most influential dairy producer globally.
[LEXINGTON, Ky.] – More than 1,500 feed samples have been analysed at Alltech’s In Vitro Fermentation Model (IFM) laboratory in Brookings, S.D. since its inception in 2013, and with that data researchers have been able to put together four specific regional dairy diet profiles.
[DUNBOYNE, Ireland] – Within the next 34 years, the world will have an extra three billion mouths to feed. What will that mean for humanity, or, perhaps even more importantly, the agriculture and food sectors responsible for nourishing them? Is it a future full of gloom and doom, or of abundance?
According to Alltech, the choice is yours. A future of plenty is ours if individuals, the private sector, agriculture and governments make meaningful choices today that harness the power of technology, conserve resources and encourage innovation.
