Alltech Presents Latest Research Findings 

July 27, 2009 

[Montreal, Canada] – Alltech presented 23 paper abstracts at the recent joint meeting of the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA), Canadian Society of Animal Science (CSAS), and the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS).  The annual meeting brought together researchers from across North America to discuss the latest issues involving commercial animal production.  With 23 peer reviewed papers presented, Alltech reinforced its commitment to stay at the forefront of research in the animal health arena.

“Research is the lifeblood of our company,” said Alltech’s director of worldwide research, Dr. Karl Dawson.  “From our three bioscience centers to our partnerships with universities around the world, Alltech is well suited to help chart a science-based course for agriculture in the 21st century.”
