Prof. Theo A. Niewold of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven - Belgium, who is well known for his research projects on inflammatory processes, presented contemporary data on anti-inflammatory feed components linking to improved performance and a more stable health situation.

Prof. Wondwossen Gebreyes of The Ohio State University – USA, who inter alia, is currently involved in research about antimicrobial resistance and food borne diseases, held a lecture regarding the positive role of plant alkaloids in production, immunologic and gut physiologic parameters in swine. Ultimately, Dr. Manfred Düngelhoef (Phytobiotics Feed Additives GmbH) exhibited the latest outstanding research results related to the effects of Sangrovit® – the science approved natural plant additive – on performance parameters of pig production.
