Expert Webinar Reveals How Mineral Nutrition Transforms Pet Health on March 4th
A new webinar on mineral nutrition in pet food will take place on March 4th at different times worldwide. The session, sponsored by Alltech and hosted by Industry, will focus on how mineral form affects pet health and formulation choices. Laurentia van Rensburg, a leading expert in animal nutrition, will lead the discussion.
Laurentia van Rensburg has spent over two decades in animal science, working across South Africa, Europe, Latin America, and North America. She holds a Master's in Animal Science from the University of Kentucky and currently serves as Global Head of Commercial Nutrition at Alltech. Her passion for companion animal health has driven advancements in mineral bioavailability and proteinate technologies.
Since joining Alltech in 2005, van Rensburg has helped shape the company's pet food strategy. Her work includes developing organic trace minerals like Bioplex® and proteinates that boost nutrient absorption, gut health, and overall pet performance. These innovations have led to more R&D publications and product launches up to 2025.
The webinar will cover key topics such as how proteinate minerals improve mineral delivery through better absorption. It will also explore the stability and nutrient interactions of different mineral forms. Attendees will learn how enhanced mineral delivery benefits cats and dogs, supporting stronger immunity, healthier skin, coats, and joints.
