  • Students taking CIHEAM Zaragoza’s Master in Animal Nutrition are presenting 6 oral communications at the Animal Production Workshop organized by the International Association for Agricultural Development (AIDA)

On 13-14 June, CIHEAM Zaragoza is hosting the 20th Animal Production Workshop organized by the Interprofessional Association for Agricultural Development (AIDA), where scientists, practitioners and professionals will gather to exchange and discuss the latest scientific findings in animal production.

During the workshop, CIHEAM Zaragoza students will present 6 oral communications on the individual projects they are conducting in their second year of the International Master in Animal Nutrition (2021-2023), a programme that trains specialists that will take on technical responsibilities and carry out high-impact research in the field of animal nutrition.

These are the oral communications that our students will be presenting in the Workshop:

  • Carlos García (Spain):
    • Estimating urine nitrogen excretion in fattening beef cattle
    • This project aims to develop equations to predict N excretion using urine biomarkers.
  • Ibtissam Kaikat (Morocco):
    • Variability in energy value of cereals for broilers
    • This project explores the energy metabolism of 4 different varieties of barley, wheat and rye in broilers and identifies possible factors of variation.
  • Manjola Koldashi (Albania):
    • Sainfoin inclusion in beef cattle diets: effects on in vitro fermentation parameters
    • This project studies the effect that including sainfoin in calf-fattening diets has on in vitro fermentation.
  • Destines Plonquet (Haiti):
    • Development of Tenebrio molitor larvae on substrate based on wheat, barley or corn
    • This project looks into the potential interest of using barley and corn to rear Tenebrio molitor larvae.
  • Marc Saad (Lebanon):
    • Oils rich in medium-chain fatty acids: impact on the digestibility and performance of 0-21 day broilers
    • This project analyses the incorporation in starter diets of oil and fatty acids from palmist distillates rich in medium-chain fatty acids, and studies their effect on performance and on the digestibility of dry matter, organic matter and fatty acids in 0-21 day broilers.
  • Muhammad Shaklouf (Egypt):
    • Use of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) meal in sheep feeding: rumen digestion
    • This project studies the effect of substituting soybean cake for mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) meal on rumen digestion in sheep.
