en.Wedoany.com Reported - The competitiveness of Brazil's animal protein industry is increasingly dependent on transforming scientific research into production efficiency. At the 36th Annual Conference of the Brazilian College of Animal Nutrition (CBNA), researchers and agribusiness leaders pointed out that, facing multiple global pressures regarding sustainability, cost control, and nutritional precision, Brazil needs to accelerate investment in key technologies for animal nutrition. The conference, held this week in the Anhembi district of São Paulo, brought together nutritionists, additive companies, feed producers, and industry chain representatives to discuss the sector's technological bottlenecks.
Hot topics included expanding research on animal feed fiber, improving raw material digestibility, exploring the interaction between microbiota and nutrition, and utilizing artificial intelligence to optimize production decisions and feed formulation. Experts emphasized that Brazil must achieve faster and more accurate breakthroughs in calcium and phosphorus digestibility and net energy evaluation of feed—core elements for improving feed efficiency and sustainable production. Marcio Ceccantini, a member of the CBNA Technical Committee and an agronomist, stated that the integration of academia and industry is key to accelerating innovation: "This conference brings together researchers who guide the new generation of technicians and many decision-makers from the animal protein industry, helping to directly connect research results with actual market demands."
Ceccantini noted that the dialogue between field practices and cutting-edge research can drive solutions more aligned with international market standards. He emphasized that sustainability and nutritional quality have become core global requirements for Brazilian animal protein. The discussion panel consisted of several leading Brazilian researchers, including Horácio Rostagno from the Federal University of Viçosa, José Henrique Stringhini from the Federal University of Goiás, Sergio Vieira from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Everton Krabbe, head of the Swine and Poultry Research Center of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), and Bruno Silva from the Federal University of Minas Gerais. The conference conveyed a growing consensus within the industry chain: Brazil's future competitiveness will no longer rely primarily on capacity expansion, but will depend on achieving refined production through nutritional precision, technological intelligence, and biological efficiency.
