Dairy titans US and Italy unite for global goals

Oct 02, 2023

The US and Italy, two dairy kings, are now on the same team. The U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), and Italy’s Dairy Association, Assolatte, have signed on the dotted line, promising to buddy up until 2025.

They’re all set to proudly ensure milk and dairy products wear their true tags. Plus, they’re rallying for rules that applaud the dairy world’s green efforts globally.

NMPF’s leader, Jim Mulhern, highlighted the duo's shared dairy love as the collab’s fuel. On the flip side, USDEC’s Krysta Harden chatted about their mutual dairy dreams and ambitions. She’s all for science-driven rules that promote green thumbprints in the dairy world.

And Assolatte’s head honcho, Paolo Zanetti? He’s buzzing about this power pact, hopeful to iron out any dairy production and sales kinks.

This new partnership vibes with the dairy deals USDEC and NMPF inked with Argentina and Chile last year.

Video: New Solution Powers Efficient Pork Growth

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.
