From Droplets
to DNA

The New Science of Bioemulsifiers
and Nutrient Absorption

0.5 CPD points for Agriculture

About the Session

From Droplets to DNA explores the next generation of fat digestion science, where performance is no longer defined by emulsification alone. As advances in bioemulsifier technology reshape our understanding of lipid utilisation, the focus is shifting decisively toward nutrient absorption and metabolic efficiency.

At the same time, nutrigenomics is emerging as a critical lens, revealing how absorbed fats and nutrients influence gene expression and biological outcomes. This session will delve into cutting-edge innovations in lipid digestibility, absorption-focused nutrition, and nutrient–gene interactions, translating science into practical strategies for improved feed efficiency and animal performance.
