🇪🇸 Spanish Study Tour

Last week, the team were kindly hosted by Zinpro at their Innovation Center in Spain. It’s the second of their global innovation centres, the first being located in Minnesota.

Dr. Arturo Gomez presented some of the latest breakthroughs from Zinpro, alongside Dr. Riccardo Bevilacqua, who also showed the team around the wet and dry labs.

There were some interesting discussions around gastrointestinal and rumen digestion, sustainability, microbiology and fermentation, as well as how the latest research can translate into practical benefits for livestock producers.

If you’d like to hear more about our visit and how this research could relate to improving performance on your dairy unit, just pop us a message with your contact details and we’ll add you to our mailing list.

A special thank you to Emma Millar at Zinpro for organising the trip.
