U.S. Grains Council (USGC) staff recently attended the 22nd China Animal Husbandry Expo (CAHE) that brought together more than 1,500 exhibitors from more than 20 countries. At the heart of the international exhibition hall, the Council presented a comprehensive lineup of U.S. grains and high-value co-products, drawing substantial interest from livestock producers, feed manufacturers and nutritionists.

The Council’s team, including USGC Director in China Manuel Sanchez; USGC Livestock Sector Advisor Brian Wang; USGC Marketing Specialist Xiaoming Wang; and USGC Senior Program Coordinator Linda Li, engaged actively with visitors and exchanged insights on U.S. supply reliability, value-added processing technologies and evolving formulation trends in China’s feed industry.

This year’s theme was “Showcasing New Business Models, Sharing Innovations, Strengthening Momentum, Leading Development” and the event spanned nearly two million square feet and welcomed more than 230,000 professional visitors, reaffirming CAHE’s status as Asia’s largest and the world’s second-largest livestock exhibition.

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.
