One - The Alltech Ideas Conference has attracted thousands of people from some 80 countries this week to Lexington.
The Nicholasville-headquartered company, specializing in animal health and nutrition, crop science, brewing, and distilling, is sponsoring its 33rd conference.
Suzanna Elliot is communications manager for Alltech. “Used to have these kind of very scientific names like “the biology of the gut.’ And here we are now, ‘One-the Alltech Ideas Conference-Disrupt the Disrupters,’ so it’s evolved quite a bit,” said Elliot.
Elliot says the majority of Alltech’s business still remains in animal feed. That includes research in the poultry industry. “How can we feed a chicken before it even hatches and it’s still within the egg and give it that really good strong start for its life for maximum health,” noted Elliot.
Sessions Wednesday will include information related to areas like aquaculture, dairy, poultry, and equine.
