CHICAGO, (February 5, 2025)— Amlan® International, the animal health business of Oil-Dri® Corporation of America, is excited to announce its participation in the XXXI AMVECAJ International Congress, starting today and running through 7th, 2025, in Tepatitlán de Morelos, Jalisco. Organized by the Association of Veterinary Doctors Specialists in Pigs of Los Altos de Jalisco (AMVECAJ), this annual event is a cornerstone for the swine industry in Mexico and beyond, attracting leading experts and producers from across the globe. This year’s theme, “Efficient and Healthy Farms, Profitable Results,” highlights the importance of integrating innovation, animal welfare, and operational excellence to drive industry growth.
Amlan, in partnership with KOFARM, will showcase its portfolio of natural mineral-based feed additives and technical expertise at this year’s Congress, where attendees can explore how Amlan’s solutions align with the event’s theme. With Mexico producing approximately 43 million metric tons of animal feed in 2023—15% of which was dedicated to swine—there is a growing need for innovative solutions to support efficient and sustainable production.
“The theme of this year’s AMVECAJ Congress speaks directly to the heart of what we do at Amlan,” said Dr. Robin Jarquin, Regional Director, LATAM at Amlan International. “By focusing on gut health and production efficiency, we help producers achieve the profitability they need while maintaining the health and sustainability. Our partnership with KOFARM further strengthens our ability to deliver these benefits to the Mexican market.”
Co-exhibiting with KOFARM allows Amlan to engage directly with producers and industry professionals to discuss how its innovative feed additives support animal productivity. NeoPrime® helps piglets overcome weaning challenges by promoting intestinal health and improving growth. Varium® enhances animal performance by boosting weight gain and reducing intestinal issues. Calibrin®-Z binds harmful bacterial and fungal toxins. Through these science-driven products, Amlan is committed to helping producers optimize productivity, naturally.
“We’re excited to share the results of our latest field trial, which shows just how effective Varium can be in improving swine health and performance,” said Dr. César Coto, Technical Services Director, LATAM at Amlan International. “By enhancing feed conversion, reducing diarrhea, and lowering mortality—especially in antibiotic-free systems—Varium is helping producers raise healthier pigs and achieve better operational results.”
Attendees are invited to visit Amlan and KOFARM at Booth 41 to learn more about their proven feed additives, discuss strategies to enhance animal health and efficiency, and discover new opportunities to drive profits naturally with mineral-based solutions.

Amlan invites attendees to experience two pre-recorded demonstrations of Calibrin-Z, its broad-spectrum biotoxin binder, during exhibit hall hours at AMVECAJ. Visit booth 41 for a firsthand look at Calibrin-Z’s rapid binding capabilities and effectiveness.
