NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2025 25 Balchem Animal Nutrition & Health successfully concluded its European seminar series in the United Kingdom and Italy in September 2025, welcoming more than 300 participants from 19 countries across Europe and the Middle East. The exclusive events featured top international speakers and lively peer-to-peer discussions under the “Real Science Exchange” concept, confirming the growing momentum behind precision amino acid nutrition in dairy systems. Keynote presentations featured Dr. Mike Van Amburgh (Cornell University), who emphasized the pivotal role of amino acids in energy efficiency, milk fat yield, and energy-corrected milk (ECM), while stressing the importance of model-based ration formulation such as CNCPS. Dr. Usman Arshad (ETH Zürich) presented a meta-analysis showing that lysine supplementation in early lactation increased milk yield by 1.5 kg/day, and that supplementation over >70 days raised milk fat yield by ~100 g/day. Balchem experts Dr. Sion Richards and Dr. Stefano Vandoni shared field data using AminoShure™-XM (methionine) and AminoShure™-L (lysine), confirming consistent improvements in milk yield, efficiency, and ECM. They also emphasized the importance of balancing all essential amino acids—not only methionine—and presented bioavailability and stability results for Balchem’s rumen-protected amino acid solutions.

Building on previous FeedTechnoVision summits in Europe and Asia, the conference attracted more than 200 feed mill operators, quality control managers, and nutritionists from the LATAM region to explore how collaboration, communication, and innovation can enhance the quality, consistency, and efficiency of feed production. LATAM’s animal protein markets continue to surge, growing over 4% per year — double the global growth in animal protein output. However, the adoption of feed technological innovations varies across the region, and raw material sourcing and sustainability issues present additional challenges. Throughout the conference, global feed thought leaders addressed these issues and explored approaches to accelerate innovation, enhance operations efficiency, and empower people across the feed production chain. Raw material and process optimization; technology paired with people supports efficient, safe operations; prioritize pellet quality and microstructure; people will make the difference; and create a culture of precision, control, and continuous improvement — these are the five takeaways shared from LATAM 2025.
