Kemin is pleased to announce their European Tour featuring Prof. Charles Schwab :
Mastering the Amino Acid Balance 

Herentals, Belgium - January 22, 2008 - Kemin announced today their Second European Meeting to be held during April this year in collaboration with Prof. Charles Schwab from the University of New Hampshire in the USA. The event will take place in 6 countries around Europe, with the aim of further extending scientific knowledge and showing practical economic benefits achieved from Amino Acids.

The adoption of the concept of balancing diets for amino acids (AA) continues to increase in the United States and in Europe. However, the increase in the rate of implementation, as measured largely by sales of protected methionine (Met), has been tied largely to differences in milk prices and feed costs with adoption being slowest when feed costs are high and prices for milk and milk protein are lower. However, it has been my experience, says Prof. Schwab, that even when milk prices have been at their lowest long term financial benefits could be realized by balancing for AA.

We are delighted to have Prof. Schwab again with us in 6 countries, says Dr. Lyndon Davies of Kemin. Prof. Schwab is widely recognized for his research on amino acid nutrition of dairy cattle. Prof. Schwab has made over 100 presentations at dairy nutrition conferences and workshops in the last 10 years on the application of advances in amino acid and protein nutrition for more efficient use of feed protein for milk production. After his highly respected lecture at our European Conference in Belgium last year, we immediately decided to invite Prof. Schwab again for a tour to 6 different European countries to give our customers the opportunity to have in depth discussions taking into account their local conditions. In addition to Prof. Schwab every conference will have well known local speakers from Research Centres, Universities or the industry.
