DDC Supports the Successful Convening of the 12th Bio-feed Technology Conference

On July 11, the highly anticipated industry event—the 12th Biologic Feed Technology and High-Quality Livestock Product Production Technology Exchange Conference—was successfully held in Chengdu. Since the inaugural conference in 2013, this prestigious gathering, jointly organized by the National Engineering Research Center for Biological Feed Development and the Beijing Biological Feed Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance,

It has already become a benchmark event in the animal feed industry, attracting the attention of countless industry professionals at each edition. On the morning of July 11, Liu Chao, Deputy Director of the Sichuan Provincial Animal Feed Regulation Engineering Technology Research Center, Senior Engineer, and Assistant to the General Manager of DDC, was invited to take the stage and delivered a compelling presentation titled "Biotechnology Empowering Animal Feed Regulation," earning enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Director Liu boasts nearly 20 years of research experience in the field of bio-feed, demonstrating a profound understanding and unique insights into animal feed intake regulation techniques. In his speech, he emphasized the critical importance of feed intake control in livestock farming. "An animal's feeding behavior directly influences its growth performance, health status, and overall farming efficiency. Therefore, scientifically sound and well-designed feed regulation is the key to achieving highly productive livestock management." Director Liu then provided a detailed overview of the current state of biotechnology applications in the realm of animal feed regulation. He delved into various aspects, including enzyme engineering and fermentation technology, thoroughly analyzing how biotech products can effectively modulate animal feeding behavior by enhancing intestinal health, improving feed palatability, and fine-tuning appetite regulation. Looking ahead, Director Liu expressed that, with the continuous advancement of biotechnology, animal feed regulation techniques will increasingly move toward greater precision and personalization. "By leveraging cutting-edge tools like artificial intelligence, we aim to deepen our understanding of animal feeding mechanisms even further," he said. "This will enable us to develop more efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly biotech solutions, providing robust technological support for the sustainable growth of the livestock industry."

In the exhibition area of this year's conference, DDC's booth was bustling with attendees, drawing the attention of many participants. Here, DDC showcased its latest biotechnology achievements—products like Wei Pei Xian and Zhi Man Xian—that vividly highlight the company's outstanding accomplishments in the field of biotechnology. As a major science and technology achievement transformation project in Sichuan Province, Wei Pei Xian embodies DDC's 33 years of expertise in animal feed regulation. It serves as an invaluable tool for enhancing feed intake and efficiency in ruminant farming, making livestock management far more effortless. With freshness levels five times higher than monosodium glutamate, Wei Pei Xian delivers precise flavor enhancement, dramatically improving the palatability of feed and encouraging ruminants to eagerly consume it. Moreover, its rich content of natural umami peptides effectively mimics the savory taste of meat, stimulating animals' innate feeding instincts and motivating them to eat more actively. Additionally, Wei Pei Xian helps suppress satiety signals, prolonging feeding time and significantly boosting overall feed consumption. When combined with plant-based proteins, it enables farmers to achieve both cost reduction and efficiency gains simultaneously, delivering exceptional returns on investment while ensuring stable profitability. At the heart of Wei Pei Xian lies cutting-edge biotechnology, offering ruminant farmers a dual upgrade solution focused on "feed intake + economic benefits." Backed by proven expertise, this product empowers livestock producers to cut costs and boost earnings, making it the reliable, worry-free partner every farmer can count on along their journey to success.

On the evening of July 10, a unique event took place during the conference—the FDU Women PhDs' Exclusive High-End Lecture, specially curated to celebrate the 10th anniversary of SiBoHui. Dr. Lu Jirong, Deputy General Manager of DDC, delivered a keynote speech titled "Embrace the Golden Years and Discover a Better Version of Yourself." Dr. Lu shared her personal journey—from her student days to her career—reflecting on the challenges and obstacles she encountered along the way. She recounted how her unwavering determination and relentless perseverance helped her overcome these hurdles. As she reflected on her experiences, Dr. Lu emphasized the critical importance of persistence and continuous learning. "In this rapidly evolving era," she noted, "only by constantly acquiring new knowledge and skills can we keep pace with industry advancements. And above all, persistence is the cornerstone of turning dreams into reality. No matter how daunting the challenges may seem, as long as you hold firm to your path, you’ll eventually catch a glimpse of hope." Dr. Lu’s inspiring talk not only highlighted the remarkable journey of a female PhD navigating both academia and the professional world but also conveyed a powerful message of resilience, optimism, and the unyielding spirit of striving for excellence.
