Expert webinar reveals how mineral nutrition transforms pet health on March 4th

A free webinar on mineral nutrition for cats and dogs will take place on March 4th. The event, sponsored by Alltech and hosted by Industry, features Laurentia van Rensburg as the lead speaker. With over two decades of experience, she currently heads commercial nutrition at Alltech Technology Group.

Laurentia van Rensburg holds a Master's in Animal Science from the University of Kentucky. Her career spans South Africa, Europe, Latin America, and North America, focusing on animal nutrition. Since 2005, her work at Alltech has driven research into protected minerals—particularly proteinates—for pets.

The webinar will explore how mineral form affects pet food formulas. Topics include mineral stability, bioavailability, and the advantages of proteinate minerals. Studies from 2010 to 2025, published in journals like J. Anim. Sci., show these minerals improve absorption by up to 30%. This has led to better skin, coat, and immune function in premium pet diets.

The session begins at 10:00 AM CST (Chicago), 4:00 PM GMT (London), and midnight CST (Beijing). Van Rensburg's passion for companion animal health will guide the discussion, offering insights for nutritionists and pet food producers.

The webinar aims to share practical findings on mineral nutrition for pets. Attendees will learn about formulation improvements and the science behind proteinate minerals. Registration details are available through Industry's platform.
