From September 7 to 10, we held an industry seminar, "New Horizons: From Market Analysis to Innovations in Nutrition" in the Altai Mountains. Our partner in organizing the event was
Agroakademiya LLC. We invited technologists, animal nutrition specialists, and executives from large livestock enterprises as well as representatives from various segments of the feed industry.
Together we discussed the current state of the Russian market, the key challenges facing the industry, and practical approaches that help make feeding more efficient.
The seminar opened with welcoming remarks from MISMA General Director Maxim Timoshkov and Andrey Martovitsky, Vice President for B2B Development at Agroakademiya.
In his address to the seminar participants, Maxim Timoshkov highlighted the industry's growth drivers, spoke about the constraints producers are facing today, and explained the role modern feed solutions play in the profitability of enterprises.
Yulia Ezerskaya, Head of the MISMA Technical Department, together with the participants, examined how to select enzyme preparations correctly, how to use them in the diets of different farm animal species, and what typical mistakes quietly “eat away” at feeding efficiency.
A separate discussion focused on alternatives to antibiotics. Yana Krepak, a nutrition specialist at Agroakademiya, spoke about Black Soldier Fly larvae as a tool for protecting the gastrointestinal tract from pathogenic microflora. Participants discussed how this component helps reduce antibiotic use while simultaneously strengthening animal health. In her next presentation, the speaker shared the "Golden Rule" of productivity: universal feed solutions whose integrated approach addresses several production challenges at once.
Invited expert in pig nutrition Yuri Moldavskiy, PhD in Biology (PremiKorm), spoke about the intestinal health of farm animals: what affects the integrity of the intestinal barrier and how to prevent gastrointestinal disorders under intensive production conditions.
Without a doubt, the central topic was the economics of feeding. We discussed alternative methods of optimizing diets that help enterprises achieve target metrics, increase competitiveness, and adapt more quickly to market fluctuations. In the closing presentation, Yulia Ezerskaya shared MISMA's experience in producing feed additives in Russia and explained how technological and regulatory factors are changing the domestic feed industry and affecting the end consumer.
During the cultural program, lively conversations continued, with colleagues sharing expertise and finding new partners.
Thank you to every participant for your interest, questions, and openness. You made this seminar truly useful and warm.
