The countdown has begun for the 9th annual Animal Nutrition Conference of Canada (ANCC) taking place May 7–9, 2025 in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
“The response to this year’s conference has been fantastic — it’s clear there’s a real excitement for our animal nutrition community to come together in Niagara Falls for this dynamic, forward-looking event,” said Holly McGill, ANCC Program Chair.
“With registrations filling up quickly, we’re encouraging anyone who hasn’t secured their spot to do so soon. This year’s program is packed with insights that feed professionals can take straight back to the mill or farm. Whether you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, network with peers, or learn from top experts, the ANCC is ready to deliver,” McGill noted.
