Alltech, a global animal health and nutrition company, has appointed Dr. Tugrul Durali as Asia-Pacific technical manager for the company’s Mycotoxin Management Team. Based in Sydney, Australia, Durali will provide technical support to the company’s local and regional accounts, focusing on the company’s On-Farm program.

Durali started his professional career as an intern in 2001 at one of the biggest egg and poultry meat producers in Turkey, focusing on aflatoxicosis in layer hens, and then joining the Turkish Armed Force where he graduated as a veterinarian lieutenant from the Army Veterinarian College. He later worked for companies in Israel and Austraia, where he played a major role in the establishment of the company’s free-range broiler production.

The Mycotoxin Management program was launched in early 2012 in order to help producers in their control of mycotoxins through a combination of mycotoxin management programs and technologies. The global program not only assists in managing mycotoxins throughout the feed chain, according to the company, but also in detecting and addressing the risks caused by more than 37 types of mycotoxins.
