The course is organized by Schothorst Feed Research, an independent research institute focused on determining the nutritional value of feedstuffs and feed additives as well as the nutritional requirements of highly productive livestock animals.

It is an advanced course offering in depth but practical training, focused on nutrition, quality assurance and feed formulation for dairy, swine and poultry. This year, an extra module on European Union legislation has been added. Altogether, nine different modules will be offered so that each participant can design his or her own custom program depending on interest or specialization. This course is designed for nutritionists, purchasing, and product and quality assurance managers of feed and feed additive producers and others involved in the feed and allied industry.

All courses will be taught in one week, June 3-7, starting with the basic feedstuffs (origin, nutritional characteristics and quality) and ending in specialized dairy, swine or poultry nutrition. In between, the participant can learn more about quality assurance, feed processing, EU-legislation, communication or least-cost formulating. Specialized companies in the area of feed processing, communication and least-cost formulating will provide additional trainers. All modules will be offered over the course of this week. On Saturday, an excursion to a farm, feed mill and Schothorst Feed Research will be organized for those interested.

The course will be held at the Regardz Silver Tower Conference Center in downtown Amsterdam.
