One of the highlights of the All About Feed forum was the roundtable discussion with Gert van Duinkerken, business unit manager at Wageningen Livestock Research, Sanne Griffioen-Roose, PhD, director of farm sustainability at FrieslandCampina, and Luciano Pinotti, full professor in animal nutrition and feeding at the University of Milan. Together with the attendees, they discussed the implications of a more sustainable feed industry. Photos: Koos Groenewold
