Submission Requirements
Phase 1 – Regional Level - Papers
To participate, students must write a scientific paper based on a topic involving Alltech's animal feed technologies. Undergraduate students' papers must be 3000-3500 words in length and graduate students' papers must be 3000-5000 words in length. The program will include two phases, and the winners from the regional phase will move on to the final international phase. In the first phase, papers in languages other than English will be accepted. In the second phase, we will help the students to have their work translated into English if necessary. Each submission must be accompanied by a 250 word abstract based on the paper. The papers submitted cannot be previously published in any research journal.
