Youth development is critical to the future of the dairy industry, and that’s why BioZyme Inc., a long-time leader in livestock nutrition and microbiology, stepped up this year to sponsor the Junior Registered Holstein® Shows taking place across the nation in 2019.

“We’ve enjoyed supporting junior activities for a long time,” says BioZyme Inc.’s CEO Bob Norton. “We’re excited about our partnership with Holstein Association USA, and looking forward to meeting the next generation of Registered Holstein breeders.”

Two of its product lines – Amaferm and Vita Charge – will be featured as part of the sponsorship.

“We’re proud to have BioZyme Inc. working with us to build the next generation of Registered Holstein breeders,” remarks Holstein Association USA’s CEO John Meyer. “We’re looking forward to working with them throughout the year – and to continuing to build our partnership with this leading ag company.”
