EW Nutrition has taken the transfer of technical know-how and the sharing of specific scientific information to a new standard with customers. The launch of a science based course of lectures aimed to give more technical background, application, and new relevance to EW Nutrition products.
The inaugural events were held in South East Asia Pacific (SEAP) where two sessions took place, one in the Philippines (Manila, 12th August) and then one in Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, 14th August).
The intensive and focused one day event was targeting the opportunity of using egg powder immunoglobulins as a feed ingredient, especially in the feed for young animals. EW Nutrition speakers and external invited speakers including Dr Mike Varley (The Pig Technology Company), Prof Nguyen Tat Toan (Nong Lam University) and Nancy Romano (DVM, PhD) explained how immunoglobulins from the egg (IgY) work in general and how they can support the sow, neonatal and weaner piglets, as well as calves in different stages of life. Dr. Shofiqur Rahman, a scientist from EW Nutrition Japan K.K, added the huge background and expanded scientific information and the current product applications to humans.
In total more than 200 feed and nutrition professionals joined the two events. “A milestone in our relationship to customers as both parties invest valuable time in sharing knowledge and experience” said Robert Nichol, who runs the EW Nutrition business as General Manager in SEAP. As base producer of our products we can connect with the target audience more directly, ensuring the correct flow and transfer of scientific information straight from the producer to the end user. There was unanimous consent that this approach has to be continued proceeding with other topics like the usage of secondary plant compounds and toxin binders in feed.
