Born in Cassà de la Selva (Girona, Spain) in 1965, Eugeni's academic background was developed between the Veterinary School of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the Avian Sciences Department of the University of California (Davis) and more recently the Wharton University of Pennsylvania. His professional career has been linked to the feed industry around technical service and R+D management in feed and food additives including research collaborations with many leading feed/premix corporations, universities and research institutions worldwide. He is currently a Senior Research fellow of the Centre for Nutrition and Food Sciences (CNAFS) of the University of Queensland (Australia). His research program includes studies on the biology of smell and taste across mammalian (mostly pigs and humans) and avian (chickens) species with particular focus on understanding the role of taste receptor mechanisms in taste and non-taste tissues (e.g. as part of the enteroendocrine system).

29-Apr-2020contractbaconGood insight that a good diet is more than meeting a spec. Consideration needs to be given also to "mouth feel" particularly in a dry mash feed as well as to bulk density. Pelleted feed does eliminate some of the challenges but not all as clearly pointed out in this woek.
