Debut of Feed Formulation event during VICTAM LatAm
The Feed Technology Institute will host an exclusive technical seminar on novel ingredients and formulation advancements for the animal nutrition industry, in conjunction with VICTAM LatAm and Feed Formulation Latin America in São Paulo.
The organisers of VICTAM LatAm have announced a strategic collaboration with the Feed Technology Institute (FTI), an institute created by Evonik and DSM-Firmenich in partnership with Nutrall, a company incubated at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). This initiative aims to address the increasing demand for expertise in feed production processes, while also advancing the development of a pilot feed plant at UFPR to foster research and extension projects for students.
the combination of VICTAM LatAm and Feed Formulation Latin America will create the largest and most complete international event for new technologies, equipment, and ingredients in the feed industry in Latin America.”
In 2023 and 2024, FTI trained over 500 students through its specialised courses and attracted more than 700 attendees across 2 editions of the Feed Technology Symposium in Curitiba. The symposium’s second edition concentrated on optimising feed production technologies, with a focus on dosing, mixing, and facility layout.
This partnership is crucial for the market
The partnership with VICTAM in Latin America will extend this technical expertise to the São Paulo event, which is taking place from 16-18 September 2025, with a particular focus on feed formulation, new ingredients, and additives, aligning with the debut of Feed Formulation Latin America. This parallel event will concentrate on ingredients, additives, formulation, and innovation for feed mills across various species and types.
“After the remarkable success of the first edition of VICTAM LatAm, we recognise that attendees seek comprehensive solutions in one place. Therefore, the combination of VICTAM LatAm and Feed Formulation Latin America will create the largest and most complete international event for new technologies, equipment, and ingredients in the feed industry in Latin America,” says Cassiano Facchinetti, Managing Director of Interlink, the Latin American partner of Victam. “This partnership is crucial for the market, as it allows us to deliver a high-level content-driven event targeting formulators, nutritionists, animal scientists, veterinarians, and R&D professionals directly involved in feed production within both industry and farming sectors,” adds Facchinetti.
“The 2025 edition will present the latest advancements and their impact on feed mills and animal nutrition. The program is being carefully curated to address critical aspects of feed production and their effects on animals,” highlights Professor Alex Maiorka of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) and member of FTI’s Scientific Committee, who is responsible for symposium planning.
Pilot feed factory
Marco Lara, Feed Applications and Technology Manager at Evonik and member of the Organising Committee, emphasizes the symposium’s objective to foster discussions on key trends and technologies in animal nutrition. In addition to being a hub for knowledge exchange, the event has a philanthropic component. “All proceeds from the symposium will be allocated toward the construction of a pilot feed factory at UFPR,” says Lara, stressing the practical outcomes of this intellectual collaboration.
VICTAM-FTI Animal Nutrition and Formulation Seminar
The “VICTAM-FTI Animal Nutrition and Formulation Seminar,” as it will be titled, will cover a broad spectrum of topics including new ingredients, additives, raw materials (e.g., sorghum, DDG), processing methods, nutritional profiles, formulation modeling, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, and other current and pertinent topics for this sector. The full agenda will soon be available at www.feedformulationlatam.com.
