The worldwide agriculture sector has to adapt to this changes and is testing and implementing new solutions like algae extracts based natural additives to face these challenges and remain at the today top technical level. Sharing these experiences between worldwide key players of animal protein production is a great opportunity that can happen today as we are more than 200 people coming from all over the world. This next hour is a time to share animal production worldwide issues such as raw material price increase or technical topics but also imagine tomorrows agriculture by making a bit of prospective. It is a real pleasure to welcome our partners that have the will to be part of the feeding sustainably 9 billion human beings challenge. 3. 3 Mr Philippe SERENE Consultant to the Feed Mill Industry After secondary school in Saigon in Viet Nam in the 50ies and being graduated from Paris University in 1968 with a Doctorat in Fisheries Oceanography (Tunas Genetic) Mr Serene start his carreer in Sete (Southern France) working as General Manager of Fisheries Department of Company des Salins du Midi (Largest salt plan in France) where he was in charge of the exploitation of 100 000 ha of Coastal Lagoon with eel, Sea Bass, Sea Bream, Mullet and Artemia. A part of these task Serene start the first R&D program for the development of mass production of Sea Bream and Sea Bass juvenile. After 5 years of such experience he decide to incorporate its own Company AQUASERVICE. He was then involve in the initial effort of what is now the European Aquaculture Industry with development in Italy (Ravagnan SA Pellestrina Hatchery 1974), Spain (Finisterre Mar Oyster Hatchery 1975-77), Lybia (Ministry Wadi Mgenin Farm 1978) , Greece (Kephalonia Fisheries 1978) , Egypt (Ministry/UNDP) , Saudi Arabia (Al Wiam Project). In Egypt from 1978-1982, Serene and its team was specifically en charge in the World Bank Maryut Fish Farming project (1200 ha of ponds for Tilapia & Mullet farming). In 1980/87 Serene win another World Bank Tender in Bangladesh (Oxbow Lake Project onCarpFloodPlaindevelopment)whichwasfollowedbyanotherShrimpCultureProject (development of 22 000 ha of shrimp farms along the coastal belt of Bangladesh). In 1990 another contract was awarded to Aquaservice, the Third Fisheries Project (100 millions usd of public Investment) . With the continuous growth of Aquaservice , new contracts was awarded to the Company in China (Construction of 2 Feed Mills) and in Ecuador, Peru (Shrimp CultureDevelopment) under EU financing. In 1991 a new opportunity was offered to Mr Serene by Societe Commercial des Potasses dAlsace (SCPA) for the development of a Feed Mill Joint Venture Proconco. "Seaweed and Unicellular Algae potentialities in animal Feed productions and related sustainability" Asia Guest Speaker Introduction Seaweeds for a bette rlife Bre izh Algae Tour 4. 4 After the review of world production of animal feed in figures estimated to be 950 million tons in 2012 representing $500 billion value with 1500 million tons expected in 2020 for an estimated value of $1000 billion ($418 million of chicken feed, $253 million of ruminant feed, $218 million of pig feed, $34 of aqua feed) the paper gave estimates of overall all world algae production , including natural production in the sea of unicellular ones and costal macrophytes with figures reaching many millions tons of dry weight. Mechanical harvest and algoculture is estimated to reach 15/16 ( wet weight ) million tons and already used in animal feed. Just for broiler, it could represent 10 million tons of algae. Seaweed and Unicellular algae have been considered as a raw material in fertilization and animal feeding since thousand years and shows often many benefits (production benefit and health benefit). Since few years development of mass production of Seaweed and Unicellular algae are under serious consideration for different type of utilization like cosmetic, biofuel, feed, fertilizer and some information on cost of production , market price and market size are discussed. This paper underline the need to make progress for mass culture, harvesting, processing etc as algae is definitely one of the main alternative source of nutrients to consider for different industries among which animal feed could play an important role. From 1991 to 2002 and 2008 - 2010 Mr Serene was in charge of Proconco Feed Mill development plan. Thank to its previous multicultural experience he was able develop from zero what is considered to day, after 20 years , the largest Viet Namese Feed Mill in Viet Nam. With 4 Feed Mills, 1200 employees, 150 distributors, 600 millions usd sales in 2011, 30 usd net profit , Proconco is often considered as the best Agrodevelopment success in Viet Nam. In April 2010 Proconco received the award of Best Asian Feed Miller In July 2010 Mr Serene after many years of hard work left Proconco and began to value these 42 years of experience acting as Consultant to the Feed Mill Industry.

Born and raised on a family dairy farm in Wisconsin, USA Attended University of Minnesota/Crookston - AAS in Sales and Marketing 15 years in veterinary industry with Advanced Veterinary Systems and IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. Joined Olmix in 2004 - Responsible for Sales and Marketing in the United States. Production, consumption, and price of meat protein is changing in the United States. Beef production is declining, pork and poultry (eggs and chickens) are at a steady, slow increase. New technologies in agriculture are emerging to improve efficiency of meat protein production. -- Farming practices -- Agronomy practices -- Genetics (animal and plant) Change in production is influenced by animal welfare groups Ag policies and farming practices are influenced by politics Consumer perception and awareness of animal welfare are critical to production "Red meat production towards white meat production" United States of America Guest Speaker Introduction Seaweeds for a bette rlife Bre izh Algae Tour 6. 6 Dr Aim Franck ESSOH Veterinary In 2012, the population of Africa was estimated to more than 1.075 billion inhabitants. It remains the second most populated continent after Asia with 4.35 billion inhabitants. This population reached barely 225 million in 1950 and has been quadrupled in half of a century. Contrary to this breathtakingly fast demographic growth, the agricultural production has only known an average increase of around three times its value of year 1950. It justifies starvations, under-nutrition and numerous cases of malnutrition that are hitting the continent. In 2010, the FAO has estimated under- nutrition cases of humans to 870 million people of which almost 98% in developing countries. According to FAO in 2012, the state of malnutrition was concerning around 925 million people of which 26% of people living in the sub-Saharan area of Africa. This real situation is however lived differently on the countries of the African continents. It concerns a little less than 5% of the population in some countries and reaches more than 70% in others. In West Africa, between 9 and 40% of populations are suffering from under-nutrition. Africa occupies a total surface area of 30.4 million square kilometer, West Africa a surface area of 6.14 million square kilometers. The arable surfaces (UAL, Utilised Agricultural Land) represent around a third "New technologies to feed Africa" Ivory Coast Interstate School of Veterinary Science and Medicine of Dakar Studies of rural economy (technical studies of financial projects and development projects) Animal health (ruminants, poultry, pig) Support program to domestic poultry production.

Seaweeds for a bette rlife Bre izh Algae Tour Guest Speaker Introduction 7. 7 of these area surfaces, 0.9 hectares of Utilised Agricultural Surfaces (UAL) per inhabitant. Agricultural productions cover overall 80% of nutritional needs especially in West of Africa; less than 50% of the needs in Central and East Africa. With an important demographic growth, on average 8%, African and sub-region populations should reach 2 billion and 640 million inhabitants in 2040. What will be the main way to improve domestic food availability? Will the current agricultural and surface areas be enough to cover our population needs whose main characteristic is the high proportion of young and children? In order to find appropriate answers, we will remember the vastness of the sea (70% of the terrestrial surface), and its numerous natural resources. Indeed, a return to natural proves to be necessary and even urgent to ensure in quantity and quality, all the needs of humans and animals. It deals with an inexhaustible source, which well exploited, especially algae, will be able to supply almost 2/3 of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids that are indispensable to a sufficient and balanced diet. According to the FAO, cereal production could be sufficient to feed humans, but 60% of this production is used for animal feed and only 10 to 12% of the calories used for this feed are restored to humans. In order to balance the scale and especially allocate more than 70% of the global available cereal to human food, it would be wiser to make strategical changes in using vast algae fields to produce food quantities that are indispensable to animal feed. It will also be millions of tons of food that big producer countries could make available to Sub-Saharan Africa populations. In reality, we can feed the humanity from our country in the whole world. We only need to take a look at difficulties to feed humans and take the decision to cope with it. It is in this way that we place the topic How feed the subregion, Africa Interest of algae and sea to feed animals, humans. Besides,thetotalexploitationofnutritionalandcurativepropertiesofalgaecouldconstituteanadvantage for food issues resolution. Particularly malnutrition which affects a little more than 250 million children in Sub-Saharan Africa, would be completely obliterated with algae based food supplements. (for example : spirulina) In West Africa, competition between human and animal feed relating to corn constitutes a brake to animal resources development. This competition, in favour of human consumption, create important shortages of corn (around 60% in poultry feed) in our countries. It deals with a region that suffer mainly from malnutrition. The answer to this situation resides in the improving of availability of food rich in nutritional elements, such as fruits, legumes and food of animal origin. The latter create sometimes difficulties but are easy to be solved from a suitable exploration of new ways that are offering the sea and algae. Algae can be used directly as a source of protein but also as medicated feed in order to reduce the effect of chemical medication in animal production that cause actually a public health problem . Viewed this way, sea and algae represent real alternative ways: to feed livestock while leaving human the most part of what is important for him, namely reverse the purpose of cereal agricultural productions in favor of human; to feed 320 million inhabitants of West Africa by developing their animal resources with algae and use algae for nutritional balance. to feed 1.075 billion inhabitants of the African continent from availability of food product in developed countries and that would not totally designed to animal feed.

Nigeria Seaweeds for a bette rlife Bre izh Algae Tour Guest Speaker Introduction 9. 9 Dr Ali ZAR SHER Orient Animal Health Manager Affiliated with Orient Animal Health (PVT) Ltd. Pakistan. He is a leader of the Marketing team of Animal Health Products. Before his PhD studies at Imperial College London (UK), he was working for a leading multinational company dealing with poultry and livestock medicines. He holds a postgraduate degree in Microbiology from Quaid-e-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan and a diploma in pharmaceutical research and development from the Toronto Institute of Pharmaceutical Technology (TIPT) Canada. He has served both in private and public sectors for more than 20 years. He will be talking about his experience of algae based products in dairy and poultry sectors in Pakistan. The poultry sector is one of the most organized and vibrant segments of the agriculture industry of Pakistan. This sector generates direct and indirect employment and income for about 1.5 million people. The net foreign exchange from livestock in 2012-13 is 196.8 billion which is 21 % of the total exports. The overall climate of Pakistan is hot and humid, heavy monson rains and flooding makes the storage conditions even worst for the farmers. These are few of the most important reasons for the development of fungus in the field harvested grains. Mycotoxins are present in the field harvested grains and subsequently birds and animals are exposed to these mycotoxins through feed and fodders. These mycotoxins exert their deleterious effects on the performance and health of the birds and animals. The most important parameters, directly affected by mycotoxins are, failure of vaccines, lowered immunity, prolonged disease conditions and poor performance. Algae based products are one of the sources to tackle such problems. OAH has been marketing these products for the last 4 years in poultry and recently started selling it to the dairy farmers. Our experience with such products is very encouraging. These products have been a very helpful tool to solve many disease problems in poultry and dairy sectors in Pakistan. We are now looking forward to expand our experience to other countries of the region like Afghanistan.
