About this webinar

Without a doubt, “Young Animal Nutrition” is one of the most prominent themes in the livestock business these days. Piglets, chicks and calves need care and attention right from the start to make them thrive, preferably without the use of any antibiotics. Now how important is that care exactly? Once and for all, this webinar aims to explore and assess the value of young animal nutrition, by painting a picture what happens if that proper care and nutrition isn’t there. What would happen then with the animals – and what would be the cost?
