The pre-ILDEX seminar featured three international experts who discussed new approaches in feed nutrition, lipid metabolism, and the role of the liver as the center of physiological efficiency in poultry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amid the growing momentum of the poultry feed industry in adapting to global changes, Lachance once again introduced new ideas through a seminar titled \u201cNew Feed Nutrition Path Exploration: Optimizing Lipid Absorption and Hepatic Wellness \u2013 Better Lipid, Healthier Liver.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Held on Tuesday (September 16) at Mercure Hotel, Tangerang, BSD City, the Pre-ILDEX seminar presented three keynote speakers: Prof. Seksom, a poultry nutrition expert from Thailand; Mrs. Tracy from Lachance; and Dr. Lyu, a nutrition and production efficiency specialist from China. The three speakers discussed the interconnectedness of genetics, nutrition, and management in poultry production.<\/p>\n

\n

Genetic Adaptation and Holistic Management<\/h2>\n

Prof. Seksom, a poultry nutrition expert from Thailand, opened the session by highlighting the rapid changes in modern chicken genetics. Over the past 50 years, broiler harvest time has fallen from eight weeks to less than 30 days to reach a two-kilogram body weight. However, this acceleration has not always been accompanied by adequate adjustments in nutrition and management.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenetic improvement keeps advancing, but nutrition and management often lag behind. As a result, we see issues such as heart stress, obesity, and leg abnormalities,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

He noted that the livestock sector is now entering the VUCA<\/em> era (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), where the industry must be ready to adapt to climate change, fluctuating raw material prices, and shifting regulations. Therefore, he emphasized the importance of a holistic approach that integrates all aspects\u2014from nutrition, environment, and health to human resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot improve just one aspect, such as nutrition, and expect everything else to follow. All factors must work in harmony,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

As an example, he highlighted the importance of ventilation in closed-house systems. Oxygen deficiency can drastically reduce energy (ATP) production and hinder growth. At the end of his session, Prof. Seksom reminded participants that genetics, nutrition, disease challenges, and markets change every year. \u201cIf we stop learning, we will be left behind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

BIOACID: An Innovative Additive for Liver Health<\/h2>\n

The second session was presented by Mrs. Tracy, Poultry Technical Manager of Lachance Group. She introduced BIOACID, a feed additive derived from natural metabolites of cholesterol, which supports lipid metabolism and helps maintain poultry liver health.<\/p>\n

\u201cBIOACID helps improve emulsification, digestion, and absorption of fats, while increasing pancreatic lipase activity for more efficient fat utilization,\u201d Tracy explained.<\/p>\n

Trial results show that adding BIOACID improves feed efficiency, accelerates broiler growth, and enhances liver function. \u201cAfter BIOACID supplementation, the chicken liver color changes from yellow to reddish-brown, indicating more efficient triglyceride synthesis,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Beyond supporting poultry physiological performance, Lachance is also committed to environmental sustainability. Since its establishment in 2004, the company has invested around five million yuan in wastewater and gas treatment facilities. In 2023, Lachance was recognized by China\u2019s Ministry of Agriculture as the National Bioacid Standard Center<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope BIOACID will evolve from a functional feed additive into an essential feed additive, because our goal is not merely to sell products but to provide technical solutions for the industry,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n

Nutrition Trends and Production Efficiency in China<\/h2>\n

In the final session, Dr. Lyu presented developments in China’s poultry industry, which produces around 26 million tons of chicken meat annually from a total national meat production of 96 million tons. He explained that modernization of closed-house systems is expanding rapidly, but also introduces new challenges such as water management, ventilation, and waste handling.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach house containing 30,000 chickens can consume up to 12 tons of water per day. Without proper drainage and ventilation, disease and odor control become very difficult,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

In nutrition, Lyu highlighted the use of enzymes and postbiotics derived from fermented rice, which have been proven to reduce FCR by up to 0.03 points and decrease manure odor. Some studies also show FCR reductions from 1.5 to 1.1 along with increased lipid enzyme activity.<\/p>\n

He also introduced the sex-separated rearing<\/em> strategy\u2014raising male and female broilers separately to tailor nutrient needs and harvest timing. \u201cWith this system, harvest uniformity improves and production performance can reach up to 44 kilograms per square meter,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Closing the session, Dr. Lyu emphasized the importance of cross-disciplinary communication in professional settings. \u201cIf you’re speaking with the finance team, use financial language; if you’re talking to management, present your case in terms of ROI,\u201d he said. He also encouraged young professionals in the industry to be bold in sharing ideas and accomplishments.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing an expert is not only about science, but also about how we create value for the company and the people around us,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

The pre-ILDEX seminar underscored Lachance\u2019s commitment to continuously presenting research-based innovations in modern poultry nutrition. Through cross-disciplinary collaboration and technological developments such as BIOACID, Lachance aims to help shape a more efficient, healthier, and sustainable poultry industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
