August 18/20 - 2003 - Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico


CLANA arises from de concern of the boards of directors of both AMENA and CBNA to create an organization for the scientific/technological exchange among organizations, institutions, and professionals specializing animal nutrition in Latin America.

CLANA has been designed as a communication/service organization with a technological format, focused to knowledge exchange and collaboration in scientific projects, within a multi-region scope.

The effort that starts today should be spread to associations in all other countries, in order to provide a stream of ideas and projects, generating dynamics to meet concrete animal nutrition needs in Latin America.





The Latin-American Academy of Animal Nutrition (CLANA) and the Mexican Animal Nutrition Specialists Association (AMENA) open their Congress to the participation of those professionals in animal nutrition that have an interest in Latin America, Science and technology development in service to human welfare, nutrition and health.
