April saw the return of the YEPR meeting for two years – the first since the lifting of lockdown restrictions.
An audience of 60 members enjoyed an overview of the latest trends in nutrition from expert speaker Ralph Bishop of Premier Nutrition.
Discussion topics included the continued use of soya in the poultry industry and the challenges of using alternative materials, how producers can practically improve their sustainability and what new developments are coming in poultry nutrition in the coming five years.
The organising committee are now looking to raise awareness of future meetings to more producers located in the North East following the pandemic.
The group meets quarterly on the middle Wednesday of the month at the Burn Hall Hotel at Tollerton near York.
A carvery dinner is served at 19.30 followed by the guest speaker after.
