5. Ÿnsect
Ÿnsect was one of the major sponsors of the event. The company promotes the use of ŸnMeal, for example, a de- fatted free flowing protein that comes from insects. At An- imal AgTech the company’s CCO, Benjamin Armenjon, shared the results of trials conducted in Thailand, where it was tried and tested in shrimp. The use of this type of pro- tein was observed to have an effect on growth and im- mune status. Some trials in poultry were also shared. The company further markets the product ŸnOil.

The Animal AgTech Summit drew about 250 agtech experts worldwide to Amsterdam in September.
3. Proteon
The animal health company Proteon, based in Lodz, Poland, focuses on the use of phages – or viruses – that attack specific types of bacteria. This approach could offer a promising alter- native to antibiotics. COO Matthew Tebeau explained that the company already has a phage product ready for tackling sal- monella in poultry. He noted that it is currently awaiting EU regulatory approval for the marketing of this type of animal health strategy to begin. The company is working on more products for pigs, aqua, dairy and poultry in the meantime.
4. Seleggt
German company Seleggt, founded in March 2017, aims to further the research on endocriniological gender iden- tification in hatching eggs. As managing director Martijn Haarman explained, the company’s goal is to create prac- tice-ready solutions that can rapidly analyse a large num- ber of hatching eggs which will mean that male chicks will soon no longer have to be killed. Retailers are already selling the first eggs with the added value (and label) of “No Chick Culling” throughout Berlin, in Germany.
