The Feed Technology Forum 2026 is coming to the Acacia Hotel Manila on September 16. This inaugural event focuses on the intersection of genetics, nutrition, and feed engineering. Organizer Paul Hubilla notes that modern poultry production faces a specific problem. While producers create balanced diets, these formulations often fail during the manufacturing process. The goal of this forum is to close that gap between science and factory-floor reality.
Modern broiler genetics evolve rapidly. This shift demands that feed formulation stays in lockstep with processing capabilities. A formula works only when the feedmill converts it into a high-quality pellet that the bird can actually digest. The event follows the production chain to show how these elements connect.
The agenda covers the entire sequence of production. It begins with the genetic potential of the birds and moves through ingredient selection, formulation, and manufacturing techniques. Industry experts like M. Reza Abdollahi, Steven Goh, Matthew Clarke, and Elroy Marissen will lead the sessions. They plan to discuss how feed processing affects animal performance and feed efficiency.
The event also includes a technology showcase with live demonstrations. Participants will see pellet durability tests and feed scanning equipment in action. Organizers designed the program to build connections between different industry roles. Nutritionists, veterinarians, feed mill staff, and researchers will share perspectives on these technical challenges.
Attendance is free but limited by space. The organizers hope this meeting marks the beginning of a broader movement toward a Philippine Feed Technology and Innovation Center. This center would provide a base for ongoing training and collaborative research. Professionals looking for technical insights should register via the event link to secure a spot.
