Courses explore best practices for aquaculture production, including the use of distiller\u2019s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and corn fermented protein (CFP).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the first of several aquaculture training courses the Council will hold in Turkey and it\u2019s extremely encouraging to already see such strong interest in the program from the local industry,\u201d said Ana Maria Ballesteros, USGC deputy regional director for Europe and the Middle East. \u201cIndustry awareness of nutritious diet ingredients like DDGS and CFP has increased in the past several years but still presents a significant growth opportunity in Turkey, the sixth largest importer of U.S. DDGS in marketing year 2023\/2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Attendees included 20 key Turkish aquaculture stakeholders that constituted 90 percent of the country\u2019s total production.<\/p>\n<p>The seminar began with welcoming addresses from Council and university staff as well as a representative from the U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Foreign Agriculture Service (USDA\u2019s FAS) to provide an overview of the agenda and focal points for the training sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Lectures from university staff dove deeper into the benefits of DDGS and CFP in fish diets and explained how to properly source, store and apply them in aquaculture facilities. Participants then worked on practice courses to reinforce the habits and knowledge imparted to them from the expert speakers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to extend the Council\u2019s appreciation to ADU and its faculty for hosting this training seminar and for its assistance in planning future iterations to strengthen the Turkish and regional aquaculture industries and generate new feed demand,\u201d Ballesteros said.<\/p>\n","has_padding":false,"graphic_bg":false,"text_last":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels\/238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/panels"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"commodities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/commodities?post=238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
