With representation from prominent dairy organizations on both sides, delegates engaged in productive dialogue on pressing issues affecting dairy sectors in the region and globally. Key areas of focus included trade facilitation, promotion of dairy consumption, farm productivity enhancement, and protection of dairy product integrity.

A joint statement emphasized the commitment to maintaining open communication channels, sharing best practices, and collaborating on initiatives to promote technological exchange and training. Participants also pledged to advocate for common interests and coordinate efforts to address emerging challenges, such as sustainability and market dynamics.

The meeting provided an opportunity for delegates to gain insights into each other's dairy operations through site visits and discussions. By fostering cross-border partnerships and collaboration, stakeholders aim to drive sustainable growth, enhance trade relations, and advocate for the interests of dairy producers and consumers in both countries.

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
