One week visit and raining in IFF for four young researchers and one senior researcher (November 15th to 23rd, 2010)

Five researchers from FINS, Olivera Đuragić, Đuro Vukmirović, Bojana Kokić, Radmilo Čolović, and Dušica Ivanov,  visited IFF Instutute in Braunshcweig - Thune, from 15th to 23rd of November, 2010. The main aim of this visitation was to attend two courses: „Innovative Hygienic Concepts“ and „Current Research Topics of Feed Technology“. Both courses were international, with reputable lecturers from world’s leading  companies in field of feed producing and processing, such as Amandus Kahl - Germany, Bühler AG - Switzerland, Antiox Corp. – USA, Biomin – Germany, etc.

Researchers used this one week visitation as an opportunity to visit the most important exhibition for animal husbandry and management in the world – Hannover EuroTier, where they made some interesting and useful conversations with new and also with well-known business partners.  Over 1900 exhibitors came to this fair to share information about machinery and equipment, genetics, farm inputs and services for modern animal husbandry, as well as potentials in the field of bioenergy and local energy supply.

During their visitation of Braunschweig, tour to Bühler AG Company in Braunschweig and Institut für Getreideverarbeitung (IGV GmbH) in Nuthetal near Potsdam, were organized. IGV GmbH is divided into five mostly independent scientific and service-oriented organizational units: Bakery Technology, Biotechnology, Food Technology, Renewable Resources, and Test Lab and Analytics. The compatibility between IGV Institute and FINS encouraged researchers to discuss possibilities for further scientific cooperation and joint researches.

The overall impressions of these visitations are extremely positive and researchers assess the visit as very successful.
