Second seminar on the analysis of energy values and amino acids in sow’s nutrition in Vietnam

After a successful seminar in Hanoi, Jean Noblet and the Olmix Asia team went to Ho Chi Minh City for the second seminar on the analysis of energy values and amino acids in sow’s nutrition, attended by over 90 people, Olmix Asian customers and partners from over 10 nationalities and Olmix’s CEO Hervé Balusson at the Majestic Hotel on the 11th of December.

Jean Noblet exposed two presentations, the first on the protein and evaluation of pig feeds. He introduced the new concept that nutritionist should compose their feeds based on net energy instead of metabolizable energy. This change would allow them to adjust the feed to the pig development, and therefore reduce the price of their formula.

Noblet then presented the protein an energy requirement of reproductive sows. He explained that ideally reproductive sows should be served three different diets, early gestation, late gestation and lactation.

Marie Gallissot, Olmix group technical advisor, presented Olmix solutions to the mycotoxin issue and Olmix technology for prosper piglet’s development.

The end of the seminar was accompanied with a surprise; a group of dragon dancers entertained the attendees while Hervé Balusson and Thanh Trinh, Olmix Asia Pacific manager launched Olmix Vietnamese Website. This is now the fifth version of the website, after French, English, Spanish and Chinese. This launching shows the growing importance of the Vietnamese market, fourth world producer of pork and fifth producer of ducks.
