Senior management from participating companies highly valued the input on the topics discussed and the opportunity to interact with industry colleagues.
Safety studies (GRAS) on feed additives used in the industry, such as Nutriad's precision delivery coated Sodium Butyrate (ULTRAMIX®) were largely discussed and considered to be the best path for feed additives suppliers.
