| New
Feed Concepts (AUSTRALIA)
Dr. Brian Hardy has had over
18
years in product development. During this time he has gained
extensive
knowledge from working with both Universities and farms. This experience has
given him the ability to understand the science, develop new concepts and
find practical applications to resolve on-farm problems or to make
improvements to many aspects of animal performance. He is known for his
innovative “out of the box” thought processes.
Benefits have been obtained by feed ingredient
companies in development and marketing of new products and also the
farmer/integrator looking for ways to reduce cost and improve
profitability.
Some key areas where this
has been applied include:
-
Antibiotic replacement
-
Gastric enzyme secretion
-
Microbial balance
-
Meat Quality
-
Reproduction enhancement
-
Nutrient utilization and excretion

topics include:
