Ready to level up your knowledge of animal health and deepen your professional skills? 

Animal Health Regulatory Affairs returns to K-State Olathe this September. 

This year's conference features three distinct tracks: Nutrition, Pharmaceutical Regulations and Biologics. 

Each track is designed to provide attendees with an opportunity to dive deep into topics that will most directly impact their careers and performance. 

You’ll learn about: 

  • The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) 
  • The regulatory space and how to better understand it 
  • Interdisciplinary approaches to developing nutrition products 

Whether you’ve attended our Animal Health Conference before or this will be your first year, our goal is for you to walk away with a deeper understanding of your chosen track that you can use to enhance your career prospects and deepen your contributions to your field. 

“K-State Olathe is proud to offer the opportunity for professionals, industry leaders, researchers and regulators to come together at the AHRA Conference this year,” said Lauren Racki, professional development manager. “What we learned last year is that this industry enjoys being together and learning from one another, and our conference is focused on providing the space to do just that.” 

The Nutrition pathway in particular will provide both broad foundational and advanced scientific knowledge about topics in companion and food animal nutrition, such as new ingredient development and regulation and distribution of these ingredients. 

If you’re interested in learning more about animal nutrition, you’ll attend the following presentations and panels: 

  • AAFCO Overview 
  • Understanding the Regulatory Space 
  • Value of Interdisciplinary Approaches to Developing Nutrition Products 

Each of our panelists and industry experts understands the integral role that animal nutrition plays in ensuring the longevity and health of animals. They’ll not only offer you detailed presentations and lectures but will be ready to answer your questions to ensure you walk away with a deeper understanding. 

Ten more panels about nutrition are currently in development.
