MEET THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF ALLTECHDR. MARK LYONS

Dr. Mark Lyons grew up in the Alltech business, having traveled with his father and Alltech's founder, Dr. Pearse Lyons, from a young age to visit customers. With experience working in all regions and nearly all departments — from palletizing bags in production to researching in the lab — he has a deep and uniquely personal knowledge of the company.

He has spearheaded many critical projects, including simultaneously managing a biorefinery project in Kentucky, the establishment of a plant in Serbia and the creation of Alltech's flagship yeast production facility in São Pedro, Brazil. He also spent nearly four years in Mexico rebuilding the company's solid state fermentation plant in Serdan, which is one of the largest of its kind in the world.

In 2012, Dr. Lyons relocated to China, the world's largest feed market, as part of Alltech's focus on the Asia-Pacific region. Living in Beijing and traveling throughout the country, he led the Alltech China office and focused on building bridges between China and the wider industry through research, education and strategic initiatives.

Under his leadership as director of North America from 2009 to 2011, Alltech expanded its presence with the opening of new offices and a growing involvement in all agricultural sectors. Today, Dr. Lyons is based at Alltech's headquarters in Kentucky.

He has served as a board member of the American Feed Industry Association and is active in many industry groups, such as the International Poultry Council, the National Turkey Federation, the National Chicken Council and the National Pork Producers Council. He is also vice president of the Soil and Fertilizer Alliance of China and is a committee member of the China Toxicology Association. He is proud to be the only foreign member welcomed to China's Feed Industry Golf Group, which represents more feed tonnage than all of Brazil.

Dr. Lyons has published papers and patents in areas ranging from enzyme production to gloabl economics and is interested in the assurance of food safety and quality thorughout the entire food chain. Recently, he was named as one of "The top 50 Irish business men and women in the BRIC countries" and "40 under 40" leaders in agriculture by Vance Publishing Corporation.

He received his bachelor's degree in political science and environmental science in 1999 from the University of Chicago. He received his master's degree in brewing and distilling in 2001, followed by a Ph.D. in the area of solid state fermentation, at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. Dr. Lyons is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, French and German, and he has a working knowledge of Mandarin.

POULTRY FOCUS SESSIONBugging About the Future: Possibilities of Insect Meal in Poultry ProductionDR. STEPHANIE COLLINS, Assistant Professor, Monogastric Nutrition, Dalhousie UniversityInsect meal is quickly becoming a popular alternative protein source for both humans and poultry, but it comes with a host of both benefits and drawbacks. On the plus side, insect meal can be produced en masse with a relatively low land-use impact, and insects can be fed a wide range of substrate materials that are not suitable for livestock. On the other hand, regulations around insect meal are not up-to-date, and the demand also currently outweighs the supply. Will insect meal make an impact as a new protein source, and can it be used effectively in commercial poultry production?

How the History of Antibiotic Resistance Will Impact Poultry’s FutureDR. KAYLA PRICE, Canadian Poultry Technical Manager, Alltech Antibiotic development for the masses began in the 1920s, and by the 1950s, studies began revealing concerns about the development of antibiotic resistance. However, resistance genes in bacteria have been around for millions of years, long before antibiotics were widely used. In a poultry flock, a “resistome” exists for both the flock as a whole

and for individual birds. If resistance genes encourage multiple resistance for different antibiotics, treatments may not be as effective for the flock. Learn how the story of antibiotic resistance throughout history will help inform how we manage this issue now and into the future.

Enabling Data-Driven Farming, One Flock at a TimeDR. RANVEER CHANDRA, Chief Scientist, Microsoft Azure Global; Lead on FarmBeats IoT Applications, Partner Researcher, Microsoft ResearchData-driven agriculture is becoming the new norm, and data is increasingly being incorporated into poultry production. The Global Innovation Exchange is a research partnership between the University of Washington, Tsinghua University and Microsoft, a leader in the creation of data-driven software, to encourage graduates to develop innovative technologies. Graduates have developed an audio machine learning program, CluckAI. This program uses listening devices to monitor flock sounds and harnesses analytical algorithms to create alerts. Learn how emerging technology in the digital age is enhancing poultry efficiency.

Prioritizing Food Safety in Poultry ProductionDR. KARINA HORGAN, Associate Research Director, AlltechWith the USDA projecting that Americans will consume 94 pounds

of chicken per person this year alone, food safety remains at the forefront of U.S. and international industry concerns. Which critical control points should producers be monitoring for domestic consumption and exportation? How can we protect poultry from major pathogens like Campylobacter and Salmonella without using antibiotics? And if antibiotics are needed, what can be done to reduce resistance and make them more effective?

Go With Your Gut: Modulating Antimicrobial Resistance for Health and Well-BeingDR. RICHARD MURPHY, Research Director, AlltechAntibiotic resistance has the potential to become one of the greatest challenges of our generation due to the ever-increasing rise in bacterial strains that are less and less sensitive to existing treatments. A drawback to the use of antibiotics is their non-specific effects on the gut microbiome. In fact, their use can lead to a reduction in overall gut microfloral diversity, allowing for the continued proliferation of resistant species. This can have negative impacts on both health and performance. One strategy includes using nutritional supplements such as mannan-rich fractions (MRF) to rehabilitate microfloral diversity. This approach will have significant practical value in commercial production and will also have beneficial impacts on consumer health and well-being.
