Dinners (« chalet » and « Lake ») are presented in the Social programme, with the visit day on Saturday.

Trace elements will be considered on their two sides : as essential nutrients for animal nutrition and health, and as potential polluants for the environment.

Highly specialised researchers and experienced scientists will review current knowledge in each area of expertise. An international coverage will be given to the programme. Time will be allowed for Questions & Answers.
