The Farm Animal Nutritionist – into the 2020s.

This is the 3rd in our series of SFT NextGen conferences dealing, in an informal format, with the fundamentals of a range of issues which are relevant to animal nutritionists.
Generous opportunities are provided for questions and discussion during the proceedings and for networking and informal discussion with speakers and delegates during the conference breaks.
Delegates will leave the conference better able to serve their employers and customers and will have a greater knowledge of the industry’s place in livestock agriculture.
