Council Shares Insights Into CFP Applications At Feed Resource Forum

The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) recently joined a closed-door feed industry meeting in Shandong – China’s largest compound feed producing province – by inviting Professor Dr. Gerald Shurson from the University of Minnesota to share crucial insights on maximizing the benefits of corn fermented protein (CFP) in swine, poultry and aquacultural diets.

The meeting was part of the Fourth Forum on the Development and Utilization of Feed Resources, hosted by the National Livestock Technology Innovation Alliance and jointly organized by Watson Shared Think Tank, the Protein Feed Biomanufacturing Innovation Consortium and the Zhongguancun Quantum Biological Agricultural Innovation Alliance.

“There was great interest among nutritionists from leading swine, poultry, aquaculture and compound feed manufacturing companies in China and the world in learning about production processes, nutritional composition and feeding value of U.S. CFP,” Shurson said.

Shurson was joined by representatives from the Council’s USGC Beijing office including USGC Director in China Manuel Sanchez, USGC Livestock Sector Advisor Brian Wang and USGC Marketing Specialist Xiaoming Wang.

Before the forum, the Council’s delegation visited the Bozun Group, the largest importer of distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in China, to learn about its DDGS-derived feed products, technological innovations and headwinds in promoting the use of imported DDGS in China.
