Henk Smit joins the Alltech sales team and will be responsible for launching a new total Mycotoxin Hazard Analysis Program for the on-farm auditing and assessment of mycotoxin risks. The program, called Miko, will be the first of its kind in the country. Henk has studied at Stellenbosch University and at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, and will shortly obtain his Master’s degree in Animal Science.
