Expert webinar reveals how mineral nutrition transforms pet food formulations

A new webinar on mineral nutrition for pets will take place on March 4th. The session will explore how mineral form affects pet food formulations and the benefits of proteinate minerals for cats and dogs. Laurentia van Rensburg, a leading expert in animal science, will lead the discussion.

The event is organised by Industry and sponsored by Alltech. It will run at 10:00 AM CST (Chicago), 4:00 PM GMT (London), and midnight CST (Beijing). Topics include mineral stability, improved delivery methods, and how better formulations can boost pet immunity, skin, coat, and joint health.

Van Rensburg brings over two decades of experience across South Africa, Europe, Latin America, and North America. She holds a Master's in Animal Science from the University of Kentucky and currently heads commercial nutrition at Alltech's Technology Group. Her background as a pet owner also fuels her passion for companion animal health.

The webinar will focus on practical applications of proteinate minerals in pet diets. While Alltech has contributed to advancements in mineral nutrition, no specific data links their proteinate-mineral initiatives to measurable market changes in recent years. Their broader work, however, has influenced product development in the animal feed sector.

The session aims to help pet food professionals make informed formulation choices. Attendees will learn about the science behind mineral stability and its impact on animal health. Registration details are available through Industry's website.
