Performance enhancer use in focus at SIAVS
Taking place 27-29 August at Anhembi Parque in São Paulo, the panel will focus on the ‘Production of chickens and pigs without the use of performance enhancers’.
It will address the influence of pre- and probiotics on immune reaction and health the use of organic and phytogenic acids in the production and cost-effectiveness of the production of chickens without antibiotics.
