Alltech and ARK - Anaerobic Digestion Optimisation Workshop

​We would be delighted if you could join us for the ‘2019 joint Alltech / ARK Anaerobic Digestion Optimisation Workshop’ on the 16th of April 2019. 

​This is a chance to learn more about optimising your AD plant by increasing silage quality with globally recognised independent silage consultant Dr Dave Davies and we are also pleased to have Jim Huntington from Harper Adams University and Ricky Maylin of ONM Energy presenting. 

​We will then cover making the most of your valuable silage in the plant by working with ARK, Alltech and the DIGEST P3 Enzyme (info attached) including presentations and feedback from trials in the UK.

​With a 20-year career in the industry Dr Davies has produced and worked on many trials and research projects focusing on improving silage making in the dairy sector. These findings transfer well to the UK AD sector where, as we know, silage clamp losses have a massive impact on the financial success of a plant.

Please see more information attached about the DIGEST P3 enzyme and how it can benefit your plant. 

​On a personal note it is not often we get to bring the AD sector together in such incredible surroundings, the brand new Alltech offices we are meeting in are extremely impressive - reflecting the company’s American roots- for more info google ‘Alltech Stamford’.
 
Couple this with the excellent speakers we have lined up we hope you will enjoy a day of learning and networking with us.
