Hello,

  • The European Probiotic Association (EPA) has awarded the Jules Tournut Probiotics Prize 2012 to Peter de Schryver, from Ghent University, for his innovative research project on the use of microbial products and microorganisms in animal nutrition. The prize was awarded in presence of members of the EPA, FEFANA, representative of the EPA Scientific Committee and journalists at EuroTier in Hannover last week. Altogether, the quality and diversity of research projects submitted demonstrate that probiotics benefits go beyond zootechnical performance and pave the way for innovative applications in the field of immunity, but also stress management or even reproduction. The prize worth €2000 is awarded to young scientists from all countries working on probiotics with a PhD or Master Thesis published in 2010/12. More information...
