Petfood Forum Europe to launch first virtual webinar series

Petfood Forum Europe has announced the launch of its first virtual webinar series, which will cover pet food nutrition and sustainability trends in the industry.

From 2-4 June, the organisation will offer all participants at Interzoo Digital, the world’s leading online pet industry fair, the chance to learn the latest research and information regarding sustainable pet nutrition and its future with the sector.

Towards the end of each webinar session, fair attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions in order to apply any information to their company’s business model.

The first speaker, on 2 June, will be Aman Paul, director of product development at Protix who will discuss black soldier fly larvae proteins as functional pet food ingredients.

On 3 June, Peter Williams, a senior nutritionist at Fluid Quip Technologies, will discuss corn fermentation protein as a novel grain-based, high concentration, functional protein source.

Following this, Andrew Knight, the founding director of the University of Winchester Centre for Animal Welfare, will cover consumer trends and expectations in regards to vegan-based pet food products.

Dr Rowena Arzt, Director Exhibitions at Interzoo organizer WZF, said: “Co-locating Petfood Forum Europe and Interzoo.digital creates new benefits for the pet food industry.

“We are very happy to jointly provide a new platform to discuss important trends in the pet food segment.”
