As the region’s premier platform for the feed, livestock, and meat value chain, the exhibition showcases cutting-edge technologies, sustainable practices, and market-ready solutions to help producers thrive in an increasingly competitive and resource-constrained environment.

The Opening Ceremony featured YB Dato’ Sri Arthur Kurup, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, as Guest of Honour, who outlined Malaysia’s ambitious vision for the sector.

“Half a century ago, Malaysia transformed from an agricultural economy to an industrial powerhouse. Today, we stand at the threshold of a new transformation: becoming a high-tech livestock industry capable of feeding not just our nation, but the wider region,” said YB Dato’ Sri Arthur Kurup.

He highlighted key priorities, including local feed production, palm-based alternative protein development, adoption of precision farming, automation, strengthened biosecurity, and enhanced veterinary capabilities.

With Southeast Asian livestock demand projected to grow 25% by 2030, the industry faces mounting pressures from rising feed costs for imported corn and soybeans, heavy reliance on imported feeder cattle, and transboundary animal diseases. Livestock Malaysia 2025 directly addresses these challenges by serving as a comprehensive solutions hub, connecting industry stakeholders with technologies, partnerships, and strategies designed to build resilience and drive sustainable growth.

“Livestock Malaysia 2025 represents a pivotal moment for our industry,” said Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Mamat, Chairman of Informa Markets Malaysia. “We’re connecting Malaysian farmers with global technologies that can immediately impact their operations, from reducing feed costs to improving animal health outcomes.”

Dr. Aida Muhid, Senior Director of the Department of Veterinary Services Malaysia, reinforced the collaborative approach essential for industry transformation: “We see every farmer as a partner, every integrator as a collaborator, and every industry player as an ally. We are here to remove barriers, not create them – while upholding the highest standards.”

The event features an extensive programme designed to deliver maximum value to attendees. The Technical Seminars, International Livestock Forum, and Association Seminars provide participants with valuable insights into the latest trends, market dynamics, and best practices in livestock management. These educational components complement the exhibition floor, creating a comprehensive learning environment where attendees can gain practical knowledge to make informed business decisions.

Adding to this, the Malaysia Livestock Industry Awards will shine a spotlight on excellence, recognising individuals and organisations whose contributions are driving the sector forward.

Meanwhile, the International Pavilions are a key feature, showcasing a range of innovations from smart feeding systems to advanced biosecurity measures. This gives local livestock farmers the chance to explore global best practices and discover new solutions to improve their operations.

The event aligns with Malaysia’s National Agro-Food Policy 2021-2030, which targets 60% self-sufficiency in key protein sources. Dr. Aida Muhid articulated this vision: “Let us see the future we are building together – where Malaysian livestock products are recognised for quality across Southeast Asia and beyond, where our farms model sustainability and efficiency, and where every Malaysian has access to safe, affordable, locally-produced protein.”

Beyond showcasing innovation, Livestock Malaysia 2025 serves as a business catalyst, with dedicated networking sessions designed to forge partnerships between local producers and international technology providers, creating sustainable growth opportunities in Southeast Asia’s expanding livestock sector.

Livestock Malaysia 2025 runs from 27-29 August 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Trade visitors are encouraged to register and participate in this transformative industry event to discover new opportunities, gain valuable insights, and connect with the professionals shaping the future of the livestock sector.

Turnitin Expands Capabilities Amid Rising Threats Posed by AI Bypassers

New detection feature helps educators detect potential AI misuse

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Turnitin, a leading provider of technology solutions in academic integrity, announced that its existing AI writing detection capabilities now include AI bypasser detection*, designed to help educators detect text that may have been intentionally modified by AI humanizer tools. These latest updates further ensure that Turnitin keeps pace with the evolving LLM landscape.

The past two years has seen a rise in AI bypasser tools, or “humanizers,” which allow students to disguise AI-generated text as human-written, evading detection by both teachers and AI tools. The easy availability of these tools poses a growing threat to academic integrity, shifting students’ focus from merely using AI to actively concealing it, making it harder for educators to verify the originality of submitted work and negatively impacting a student’s learning experience.

The new bypasser detection capability is integrated seamlessly with Turnitin’s overall AI writing detection capabilities. When AI writing detection is enabled, educators can automatically check submissions for likely AI-generated content as well as content that may have been further modified by leading bypassers without the need for additional integrations or outside tools that could pose data or security risks. Turnitin’s AI bypasser detection enables educators to uphold academic integrity detecting AI-generated content even if it’s been modified by bypassers, with the sole aim of evading detection.

“While cheating has always been a concern of educators, with the rise of AI, there has been a new category formed of cheating providers. These companies exist to profit from students’ misuse of AI by providing free and easy access to humanizers to conceal AI-generated content,” said Annie Chechitelli, chief product officer, Turnitin. “In service of our ongoing commitment to AI writing transparency, we’ve updated our software to detect leading AI bypasser modifications so educators can uphold academic integrity against this emerging challenge.”

AI presents exciting potential to enhance education, but its misuse, particularly through the emergence of AI bypassers, presents real challenges to learning and academic integrity. These bypassers undermine the educational process by working against genuine learning, eroding trust between educators and students, and diminishing the educator’s ability to confidently ensure students understand the course material.

Turnitin’s AI bypasser detection is now available as part of Turnitin’s AI writing detection capabilities within the Turnitin Originality** add-on & AI capabilities add-on for iThenticate 2.0 customers. 

This launch follows the recent introduction of Turnitin Clarity and a rearchitected Turnitin Feedback Studio (TFS) demonstrating Turnitin’s commitment to innovation and delivering a comprehensive solution to help educators and administrators.

* The AI bypasser feature has been trained and tested to support interactions in English only.
** AI writing detection is available when licensing Turnitin Originality.

Starting with actuators, the company plans to expand into sensors and controllers.

  • Hyundai Mobis plans to actively promote its automotive semiconductor and robotics business, “We will seize future growth opportunities.”

To support sustainable growth, Hyundai Mobis is restructuring its business portfolio with a focus on profitability. It aims to achieve over 8% annual sales growth and a 5–6% operating profit margin by 2027 through product specialization and resource reallocation toward future core technologies. The company is currently evaluating the competitiveness of around 60 products and enhancing its profit management system across all stages—from development to mass production.

Hyundai Mobis also plans to strengthen its global presence by increasing the share of global customers in core parts sales to 40% by 2033. It will deepen partnerships in North America and Europe and expand orders in high-growth markets like China and India through localized product strategies and supply chain reinforcement.

Lastly, the company reaffirmed its commitment to maximizing shareholder value. This year, Hyundai Mobis repurchased and canceled treasury shares worth 620 billion won—nearly four times last year’s amount—demonstrating its dedication to transparent and predictable shareholder return policies, including dividends and buybacks. Hyundai Mobis will continue to actively implement its transparent and predictable shareholder return policy based on trust with its shareholders.

Actinogen trial using intended commercial Xanamem tablet formulation confirms target exposures in fed and fasted states

Phase 2b/3 Alzheimer’s trial enrolment passes 50% – twenty US trial sites continuing to recruit participants

SYDNEY, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Actinogen Medical Limited (ASX: ACW) announces that a recent trial designed to confirm therapeutic blood levels of the intended commercial tablet formulation of Xanamem®, given both with and without food, demonstrated the expected blood levels or “exposure”, comparable with prior studies of a capsule formulation. This indicates that 10 mg once daily remains the target therapeutic dose for the clinical program.

The trial was conducted at the CMAX clinical research center in Adelaide, Australia where 16 individuals were studied on two occasions, one week apart. Each received a 10 mg tablet of Xanamem once while fasting and once after a high fat meal. Blood levels of Xanamem were then measured frequently over the ensuing 48 hours.

Key results include the median time to maximum blood concentration of 4 to 6 hours (4 hours fasted, 6 hours after a high fat meal), and very similar Xanamem exposures (area under the concentration-time curve) and elimination half-life of 15 hours in both fed and fasted situations.

Professor Paul Rolan, Actinogen’s Clinical Pharmacologist commented:

“This trial confirmed that the intended commercial formulation of Xanamem produces consistent and therapeutic levels in the blood that are similar when given with or without food, giving full flexibility for dosing. These data support the use of the 10 mg daily dose irrespective of food intake in the ongoing XanaMIA phase 2b/3 trial in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Xanamem is a remarkable oral therapeutic with low drug interaction potential, and a 15-hour half-life suitable for once daily dosing in an elderly population.”

XanaMIA phase 2b/3 Alzheimer’s disease trial progress

Enrolment in the pivotal XanaMIA phase 2b/3 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) clinical trial has passed 55% as at the end of July 2025.

The trial is enrolling 220 participants with elevated levels of the blood biomarker pTau181, designed to identify participants with biomarker-positive AD whose disease is likely to progress during the 36-week treatment period of the trial, and therefore augment the ability to detect a Xanamem (emestedastat) treatment benefit. The primary endpoint of the trial is the Clinical Dementia Rating – Sum of Boxes scale, universally included in contemporary AD trials. Other measures include the effects of Xanamem on clinical endpoints of cognition and functional ability.

A planned safety and efficacy futility interim analysis of all available data by an independent Data Monitoring Committee will occur in January 2026.

Final results for the full enrolment of 220 participants are expected in Q4 2026.

How to enrol in the XanaMIA phase 2b/3 Alzheimer’s disease trial in the US

Actinogen is encouraging individuals and their loved ones affected by Alzheimer’s disease to take part in a groundbreaking clinical trial that could transform the way we treat this devastating condition.

The trial is enrolling people diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, offering them a chance to participate in cutting-edge research aimed at stabilizing the cognitive and functional decline of Alzheimer’s.

Xanamem inhibits the production of the “stress hormone”, cortisol, in key areas of the brain that are linked to memory and critical thinking. Watch a two-minute explainer video on how Xanamem works here.

The trial involves taking a single pill once a day of Xanamem or matching placebo (“sugar pill”) and a series of clinic visits for the assessment of Alzheimer’s progress. It does not involve frequent brain scans or complicated procedures such as lumbar puncture.

All participants at the end of the XanaMIA trial are eligible for Actinogen’s open-label extension trial of active Xanamem for up to 24 months. This extension trial will open to completed XanaMIA participants in early 2026.

Who can join?

  • Individuals aged 50 or older with a diagnosis of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease
  • Participants with a study partner willing to attend clinic visits
  • Additional eligibility criteria apply

About Actinogen Medical

Actinogen Medical (ACW) is an ASX-listed, biotechnology company in the late clinical stages of development for Xanamem® (emestedastat), its novel oral therapy for Alzheimer’s disease and depression. The Company is based in Sydney, Australia with operations and clinical trials in Australia and the US. Xanamem, has been studied in eight clinical trials with more than 400 people treated to date and has a promising safety and efficacy profile. ACW’s ongoing clinical trial, XanaMIA, is a phase 2b/3 trial of 220 participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is currently enrolling in Australia and the US. To find out more about the trial click here.

About Xanamem (emestedastat)

Xanamem’s novel mechanism of action is to control the level of cortisol in the important areas of the brain through the inhibition of the cortisol synthesis enzyme, 11β-HSD1, without blocking normal production of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Xanamem is a first-in-class, once-a-day pill designed to deliver high levels of brain cortisol control in regions where 11β-HSD1 is highly expressed such as the hippocampus. Chronically elevated cortisol is associated with progression in Alzheimer’s Disease and excess cortisol is known to be toxic to brain cells. Elevated cortisol is also associated with depressive symptoms. Xanamem has demonstrated excellent brain target engagement and in human trials has shown potential to slow progression of Alzheimer’s disease and improve depressive symptoms in patients with moderately severe depression.
