Opportunities for Latin America

New solutions boost efficiency while expanding the performance and health toolbox

Cartagena, COLUMBIA – New advances in feed technology are creating enhanced opportunities for more sustainable and competitive pork production across Latin America.

Many of the latest developments are showcased at the Porkaméricas conference in Cartagena, Columbia on July 13 to 15. A key factor is the expanded availability of tools from feed science companies such as CBS Bio Platforms that have increased activity across the region.

“We believe there is tremendous untapped potential for diverse types of Latin American pig production to become more efficient, reduce costs and expand,” says Jorge Castañeda, Latin America Sales Manager with CBS Bio Platforms. “Many can benefit from the new generation of sustainable solutions now becoming more widely available.”

Showcasing the latest advances

The Porkaméricas conference is an excellent venue to showcase these advances, as the Latin American pig sector comes together to share knowledge and work together on new approaches, he says. “The industry here has been in early stages of expansion and has faced challenges sourcing ingredients, getting consistency and reducing costs. Top options helping pig farmers in North America can now also help here in Latin America.”
