Litoral : Argentina, [July 28, 2023] – The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the National University of Litoral is proud to announce the first International Symposium on “APPLICATION OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE TREATMENT AND PRODUCTION OF FUNCTIONAL DAIRY PRODUCTS.” This Symposium will take place on Friday, July 28 of the current year at Room 7 of the lecture hall located at the FAVE Campus
The main objective of this Symposium is to promote the fight against health issues derived from Se-deficient diets through the production of Se-enriched dairy products. The symposium will focus on the crucial role of cooperation between industry and academia within the agriculture and dairy product sectors. It will also provide a platform for research, training, and career development activities.
With the growing concern over the health effects of Se-deficient diets, this Symposium aims to explore the potential of producing Se-enriched dairy products by utilizing Se-biofortified hay. Cutting-edge technologies and innovations to enhance the nutritional value and health benefits of dairy products will be discussed by leading experts in the field.
Key topics that will be covered during the Symposium include:
- Fighting the health issues derived from Se-deficient diets
- Producing Se-enriched dairy products from Se-Biofortified hay
- Cooperation between industry and academia within the agriculture and dairy product sectors
- Research, training, and career development activities
We invite experts, researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts from the agriculture and dairy product sectors to participate in this dynamic and informative event. By joining forces and sharing knowledge, we can collectively work towards offering healthier consumption options to the public.
