Amlan® International to Present Innovative Mineral Technology Solutions at VIV Asia 2023

VIV 2023 Tradeshow

Amlan® International to attend VIV Asia 2023

  • Annually one-third of the world’s broiler meat is supplied by Asia, making this region critical to the global food supply.
  • VIV Asia attendees can meet with Amlan technical experts and the local sales team to learn more about their innovative mineral-based products at booth 3650.
  • Amlan will host two presentations on natural alternatives to promote animal health and improve production efficiencies at the VIV Asia 2023 global trade show.
  • Dr. Aldo Rossi will present features of recently launched Phylox® (available in select international markets), a natural alternative to anticoccidial drugs that improves gut health and production efficiencies.
  • Dr. Marc Herpfer will present Calibrin®-Z (available in select international markets) research and discuss the capabilities of advanced mineral technology for biotoxin control.

CHICAGO, March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amlan® International, the animal health business of Oil-Dri® Corporation of America and a global leader in natural, mineral-based feed additives for poultry and livestock, will provide producers in the Asia-Pacific region with an opportunity to learn about research-backed solutions that optimize gut health and improve economic production at the upcoming VIV Asia 2023 conference to be held at the IMPACT venue, March 8-10, 2023, in Bangkok, Thailand. The conference, which features more than 200 professional speakers and more than 45,000 visitors, offers an opportunity for producers and companies like Amlan to connect at the largest feed-to-food global trade show in Asia.

Asia supplied 36% of the world’s demand for broiler meat, producing 44 million metric tons in 2020. Poultry producers in India, Indonesia and Japan are leading broiler meat production in the Asian region, with Vietnam and Pakistan showing rapid growth in the last five years.

Additionally, almost one-half of annual global swine production and over 30% of the world’s milk production is from Asia.

Recognizing Asia’s impact on the global food supply, Amlan has built a robust sales and technical service team throughout the region. During the conference, producers can visit Amlan experts at booth 3650 where they will showcase their full range of feed additives, including Phylox®, Calibrin®-Z and Varium® (all available in select international markets), which promote optimal intestinal health and feed efficiency, adding value for producers by maximizing poultry and livestock performance.

“Our mineral-based products protect poultry and livestock health by binding bacterial toxins and mycotoxins. We are excited to be presenting to this vital international audience,” said Dr. Saksake Pacharadit, Regional Sales Manager for the Asia-Pacific Region. “Unlike other clay-based products, Amlan selects our single-source mineral and leverages a proprietary thermal processing technique (not harsh chemicals), tailored specifically for each of our products, to optimize product efficacy. We’re pleased to be showcasing our products in such an important market like Thailand where the production of broiler and pork meat ranks among the top five for the Asia-Pacific region.”

Amlan will also host two informative presentations during VIV Asia. The first, to be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 8, will be presented by Dr. Marc Herpfer, Vice President of New Technologies, Oil-Dri® Corporation of America, who will discuss “Natural Mineral Technology for Advanced Biotoxin Control.” At 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 9, Dr. Aldo Rossi, Vice President, Innovation and Technical Service, Amlan International, will present on “Natural Alternatives for Controlling Coccidiosis.”

“During VIV Asia, attendees will get acquainted with Amlan’s innovative and intelligent feed additive solutions through two presentations by Amlan experts,” said Dr. Wade Robey, Vice President of Agriculture, Oil-Dri Corporation of America, and President, Amlan International. “Coccidiosis and performance challenges affect poultry production costing the global chicken industry billions every year. Our products, Calibrin-Z and Phylox, support gut health, improve productivity, and help drive producers’ profits.”

Two Taiwan nationals sentenced in international drug smuggling case

Two Taiwan nationals have received jail terms of more than five years after being found guilty of attempting to transport methamphetamine from the United States to Australia in 2022.

The pair, identified as a 33-year-old surnamed Chou (?) and a 36-year-old surnamed Lin (?), were sentenced under the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act, which lists methamphetamine as a Category II narcotic drug, according to a ruling issued by Shilin District Court on Feb. 9.

Chou was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison and Lin to five years and two months, the court said.

While the crime was committed abroad, the Shilin Court explained that Taiwan citizens are still subjected to Taiwan’s criminal law in drug-related crimes.

Chou and Lin were arrested in Taiwan last year through collaboration with Australian and U.S. authorities. They were later indicted by Shilin District Prosecutors Office.

A third suspect, a 32-year-old man surnamed Chen (?), is currently on the run in the United States and has been placed on a wanted list.

According to the indictment, Chou, who has a history of arrests for drug-trafficking-related crime, sent Lin to Malaysia on May 20, 2022 to negotiate details of the smuggling scheme with two other Australian men.

Meanwhile, 30 kilograms of methamphetamine was purchased in Mexico and sent to the U.S. to be received by Chen, who then had the drug hidden in 3D printers to be shipped to Australia.

The shipment was intercepted by U.S. authorities on July 15.

The district court said as Chou and Lin pleaded guilty to their crimes, it handed them lighter sentences, which can still be appealed.

Government, lawmakers mull changes to public holiday calendar

Taiwan’s government and lawmakers proposed several potential changes this week to the public holiday calendar and the guidelines for how it is set, following criticism over a cluster of six-day work weeks caused by holiday “make-up” days.

In Taiwan, whenever a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, the government makes arrangements to turn it into an extended holiday weekend, but in return designates a Saturday in another week as a make-up work day.

Because of the times that holidays fell this year, the 2023 calendar had an unusually high six make-up days — including two in February and one in March — a fact that has sparked criticism over the frequent six-day work weeks.

The current guidelines for adjusting the public holiday calendar were set in 2013 by the Directorate-General of Personnel Administration (DGPA).

In an interview Wednesday, DGPA Deputy Minister Su Chun-jung (???) said the system had worked “smoothly” during its first ten years, and that the six make-up days in 2023 were “irregular.”

Based on the current guidelines, every year from 2024 through 2029 will have three or fewer make-up days, while 2030 will again have six, he said.

Still, given the recent complaints, Su said the government would try to make “balanced” adjustments to ensure that the number of annual make-up days does not exceed three in the future.

He said his agency planned to look at several options for maintaining that cap, such as by not arranging extended four-day weekends for certain holidays.

It will then hold consultations with other government ministries, with the aim of submitting a final proposal to the Cabinet by the end of May, Su said.

Amid the focus on this issue, lawmakers from across Taiwan’s political spectrum have recently put forth proposals for a Public Holiday Act, which would raise the number of public holidays from the current 11 to anywhere between 12 and 24.

The New Power Party, for instance, proposed recognizing 19 public holidays, with additions including the day after New Year’s Day (Jan. 2), Freedom of Speech Day (April 7), Earth Day (April 22), International Workers’ Day (May 1), and Human Rights Day/Meilidao Incident Memorial Day (Dec. 10).

Various lawmakers from the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) have called for the recognition of 823 Artillery Battle Memorial Day (Aug. 23), World Environment Day (June 5), Indigenous People’s Day (Aug. 1), and International Migrants Day (Dec. 18) as public holidays.

Meanwhile, Legislator Lin Ching-yi (???) of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) proposed designating World Environment Day, Commemoration Day of the Lifting of Martial Law (July 15), International Migrants Day, and National Hakka Day (Dec. 28), among others, as new public holidays.

In a hearing at the Legislature on Thursday, Interior Minister Lin Yu-chang (???) said it was appropriate that the country’s public holidays and memorial days come under regular review and “change with the times.”

However, given the range of sectors that would be affected by any change in policy and the differing views on the subject, “more discussion is needed to reach a consensus,” Lin said.
