The Amlan team engaged with an international audience of animal production professionals, sharing comprehensive insights into its range of mineral based feed additives with attendees, media, and fellow exhibitors. NeutraPath®, natural pathogen control, was featured in the expo’s new product showcase and was the primary focus of Dr. Aldo Rossi’s seminar, Mitigate Performance Challenges to Drive Profits Naturally. The seminar focused on natural solutions for gut health. On the latest NeutraPath research shared at the expo, Dr. Wade Robey, President of Amlan International, commented: “This innovative product has a synergistic formula with multiple modes of action that is shown to provide equivalent performance to industry standard antibiotics.
