Utilization of agro-industry by-products in animal feeding

The Animal and Veterinary Research Centre (CECAV) and the International Association of Agriculture Students (IAAS) of the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro are organizing an International Conference on the utilization of agro-industry by-products in animal feeding. This conference will be held on the 12th and 13th of October of 2012.

In these two days we will focus our attention on discussing the use of by-products on the diets of a wide range of animal species. Our purpose is to exchange ideas and knowledge between the scientific community and all the students and businessman attending to the conference in order to analyze the increase of by-products incorporation in animal diets.
