Animal nutrigenomics center completed

Alltech will cut the ribbon on its new Center for Animal Nutrigenomics and Applied Animal Nutrition at 10 a.m. Sunday in Nicholasville.

The facility, which Alltech says is the first of its kind in the world, is dedicated to the study of the effects of nutrition on gene expression and houses Alltech's research initiatives at its Nicholasville campus. The center is at Alltech's headquarters at 3031 Catnip Hill Pike.

The ribbon cutting will precede Alltech's 24th International Animal Health and Nutrition Symposium, which runs through Wednesday in Lexington. The symposium will feature Gov. Steve Beshear, former U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns, former European Union Commissioner David Byrne, and former Kentucky Gov. John Y. Brown.
