Candelaria Ferrer Somaré M.V; MSc. serves as a distributor for AMTS products in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay through GEPSA Feeds. Recently Candelaria organized a training session teaching utilization of AMTS.Cattle™.Pro in formulating diets in Argentina. [EDIT: Candelaria is no longer the Distributor for AMTS through GEPSA–Ignacio Reano is the Distributor]
Here is the same announcement in English
At this, and at previous work sessions Nutritionists and Veterinarians have gathered to learn formulation. Tom has traveled to Argentina numerous time to assist in teaching and to learn more about the cattle systems in that area. Candelaria serves as coordinator for these sessions. Here is an example of a diet typical to the central Zone of Chile.
In a visit Tom made last fall they visited some farms in Chile. Candelaria prepared information about feeding, production, and feed prices. Tom worked through some examples of what could be changed in the diets to improve productions and margins. Candelaria provided him with statistics about the farms and processors.
