YORKSHIRE CYCLISTS COMPLETE NEW Z EALAND CHAR I T Y
CHALLENGE Yorkshire businessmen Chris Brown MBE and Chris I’Anson have raised over £6,000 by cycling the length of New Zealand for mental health charity Claro Enterprises and Parkinson’s UK. Baldersby farmer Chris Brown MBE
and Chris I’Anson, Managing Director of Masham-based farm feeds business I’Anson Bros Limited, cycled for 19 consecutive days supported by campervan driver Paul Smith. The team completed their ride at midday on 16 February, reaching the southernmost tip of New Zealand at Bluff having started at the top of the north island at Cape Reinga. They covered over 2,000km and 60,000 feet of ascent, which is over twice the height of Everest. The money was raised for Claro
Enterprises, which helps improve the quality of life and employment prospects for people with mental health problems, and Parkinson’s
UK, which supports people living with a progressive neurological condition and funds research into it. In an extra boost to the team, Yorkshire-
based Claro Enterprises was awarded the prestigious Duke of York Community Initiative Award during the duo’s cycle ride. This is granted to Yorkshire companies which are valuable to the community, well run and an inspiration to others. Chris I’Anson commented on the trip: “This ride has been extremely important in
FOCUS ON ROLE OF ANIMAL NUTRITION SOLUTIONS & THE EU
PROTEIN STRATEGY AT 2018 FEFAC GENERAL ASSEMBLY FEFAC and its French member EUROFAC announced symposia on animal nutrition and the European protein strategy in Lyon, France, on 20-21 June 2018, at the occasion of FEFAC’s 63rd
General Assembly. The draft programme includes representatives from the European
Commission and the French Government as well as livestock chain and feed industry speakers and experts from the scientific community. The symposium on 20 June will focus on the role of animal nutrition solutions in tackling
challenges in the animal health and welfare area. The EU One Health Action Plan against AMR, released by the European Commission in June 2017 stated that “feeding regimes to support good animal health and welfare help reduce the need for antibiotics at farm level”. In discussion with industry representatives from the animal health, farming and veterinary sectors, the European feed industry seeks to develop a multidisciplinary framework which could deliver a holistic health management approach towards reducing AMR at livestock farm level. The symposium on 21 June will set the scene on the announced future EU Plant Protein
Plan, expected to be published by the European Commission by the end of 2018. The EU Commission, French Government Speakers and panel experts from the EU grain trade & livestock chain will exchange views on the competitiveness of European vegetable protein production. Also the challenges of boosting production and market acceptance of alternative protein sources and the strategic importance of maintaining access to imported protein-rich feed materials will be part of the discussion.

raising money for the two charities, which is making a difference in both promoting and supporting research opportunities. The fact that Claro Enterprises has been awarded the Duke of York Community Initiative Award is a testament to the hard work their members of staff do on a day to day basis.” Chris Brown MBE said: “Reaching Bluff
on the final day and celebrating with fish and chips was a great way to end the trip. There were many challenges along the way including tropical storms, landslides and tyre punctures! We can’t thank everyone enough for their support and generosity to Claro Enterprises and Parkinson’s UK.”
