Heartwin A. Pushpadaas is a Ph.D. student in Biological Systems Engineering. Last week he came to The Pet Food Technology Symposium, and here's what he has to say about it:

"The Pet Food Technology Symposium topics were wide-ranging, addressing the interests of the heterogeneous audience. I always enjoy lectures from industry experts, and this symposium was no exception. I was particularly impressed by the approaches taken on the project “Mycotoxins in Pet Foods and the Impact of Extrusion Processing”. This work is of industrial importance and could benefit the pet owners. I presume all the participants will be very satisfied with the quality of the workshop. The workshop would not have been this successful without the diligent planning and enthusiasm of the organizing committee. Congratulations to them."
