EAAP has been delivering programs on animal science for over 70 years. After careful planning, we are this year going to provide some outstanding webinars by inviting top speakers who will introduce subjects related to animal science and livestock industry to scientists and technicians.
The Webinar series is planned to be organized monthly to inform, update, and disseminate with high-profile speakers the EAAP individual members. Apart from exceptions due to organizational issues, the EAAP Webinars will be held monthly, in the afternoon of the second Tuesday of the month.
The 14th EAAP Webinar titled Taking Flight: How the insect farming industry is growing is organized in collaboration with the EAAP Study Commission on Insects. The Study Commission on Insects addresses all questions in the area of biomass as substrate for insect rearing, nutritional requirements of insects, insect production, ethical aspects, processing methods of insect products, feeding value of insects (products) in animal feed, functional properties of insect products in animal feed, market applications, regulatory issues, consumer acceptance, environmental and socio-economic sustainability.
The first presentation will be given by Lars-Henrik Lau Heckmann, from “Better Insect Solution” (Denmark) which will present “Diversifying into the insect sector – an equipment supplier’s perspective”. Thomas Farrugia from “Beta Bugs” (UK) will then talk about “All Producers, great and small, our industry needs them all”. The third speaker will be Daniel Murta from “EntoGreen” (Portugal) with his work titled “Together we can do so much: Partnerships in the insect protein sector”. Finally, the last talk will be titled “Taking account: Measuring sustainability of insect protein”, presented by Sergiy Smetana from “DIL – German Institute of Food Technologies” (Germany).
