NEWS 18 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2024 The organizers of VICTAM LatAm announced a strategic collaboration with the Feed Technology Institute (FTI), an institute created by Evonik and dsm-firmenich in partnership with Nutrall, a company incubated at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). This initiative aims to address the increasing demand for expertise in feed production processes, while also advancing the development of a pilot feed plant at UFPR to foster research and extension projects for students. In 2023 and 2024, FTI trained over 500 students through its specialized courses and attracted more than 700 attendees across two editions of the Feed Technology Symposium in Curitiba, Brazil. The symposium’s second edition concentrated on optimizing feed production technologies, with a focus on dosing, mixing, and facility layout. The partnership with VICTAM in Latin America will extend this technical expertise to the São Paulo event, with a particular focus on feed formulation, new ingredients, and additives, aligning with the debut of Feed Formulation Latin America. This parallel event, which will be through September 16-18, 2025, will concentrate on ingredients, additives, formulation, and innovation for feed mills across various species and types. “After the remarkable success of the first edition of VICTAM LatAm, we recognize that attendees seek comprehensive solutions in one place. Therefore, the combination of VICTAM LatAm and Feed Formulation Latin America will create the largest and most complete international event for new technologies, equipment, and ingredients in the feed industry in Latin America,” says Cassiano Facchinetti, Managing Director of Interlink, the Latin American partner of Victam.
