ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY DETERMINED TO UNLOCK ANIMAL PERFORMANCE GAINS THROUGH PRECISION NUTRITION

15 December 2016New discoveries in the science that underpins feed efficacy could bring significant value to the animal feed industry, according to academics and researchers at a recent industry summit. The 3rd International Phytate Summit (IPS3), held in November, hosted by the University of Arkansas, the University of Illinois and AB Vista, brought together top scientists and nutritionists from 22 countries to discuss the positive benefits of precision nutrition, and in particular – the destruction of the anti-nutrient phytate. AB Vista senior research manager, Dr Carrie Walk, said

ASPAC PERFORMANCE AND PORTFOLIO EXPANSION MARK ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR AB VISTA

29 November 2016Animal nutrition technology company AB Vista, has revealed a successive year of global market share growth driven largely by strong sales of the Quantum Blue and Econase XT enzyme product lines.   In particular, the Asia-Pacific region saw sales over 30% higher than the previous financial year. Managing Director Richard Cooper says that, in addition to positive results in the swine and poultry sectors, 2016 also saw AB Vista grow its presence in the aqua and ruminant sectors. “Throughout the past year, we have significantly expanded our ruminant products and

Understanding dietary fibre to boost animal feed and digestion

10 October 2016The addition of fibre-degrading enzymes to feed delivers significant benefits for animal digestion, explains Dr Hadden Graham, Global Technical Director at AB Vista. Dietary fibre is commonly known as the part of the diet which is not broken down by the animal’s digestive enzymes. But in the latest of AB Vista’s Extraordinary Science Brought to Life videos, Dr Graham explains how a greater understanding of dietary fibre can help to optimise feed. “The major carbohydrate in any feed is generally the polysaccharides – this includes starch, as well as cellulose,

RUMEN FUNCTION VITAL FOR GREATER GAINS IN BEEF AND DAIRY HERDS

4 August 2016Optimising rumen function is a primary way to unlock greater gains for beef and dairy producers, according to a nutritional expert. Dr Nicola Walker, Ruminant Product Development Manager at AB Vista, is advising producers to stabilise rumen pH and improve fibre digestion in order to see better milk yield and components and feed efficiency in dairy cows, and improve average daily gain and FCR in beef cattle. “Feeding the ruminant is very challenging because there is a complex variety of available feed ingredients, and diet digestibility can fluctuate significantly

UTILISING ADVANCEMENTS IN NIR TECHNOLOGY TO OPTIMISE THE FEED PRODUCTION PROCESS

17 June 2016Understanding the variability in feedstuffs could be the key to unlocking greater returns from feed formulation, according to Dr Hadden Graham, Global Technical Director at AB Vista. Recent advances in NIR technology will allow us to better understand the variation within and between feedstuffs, helping support more accurate formulation decisions and enhancing the efficiency of the feed formulation process. “At a time when feed production makes up to 70% of variable animal production costs, such developments have real potential to optimise rations – and feed efficiency,”

Performance benefits through early xylanase application demonstrated in new video

16 May 2016The latest video in the AB Vista ‘Extraordinary Science Brought to Life’ series reveals significant benefits for swine through early xylanase application. The video, presented by Dr Pete Wilcock, Global Technical Manager at AB Vista, highlights the potential for a 6 point improvement in weight corrected Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) as a result of xylanase application. Dr Wilcock discusses the potential mechanisms in delivering this response, with a focus on the ability of a xylanase to produce xylo-oligomers (AXOS) through the breakdown of long-chain arabinoxylans. “These

AB Vista video sheds new light on the positive effects of complete phytate destruction on animal nutrition

15 April 2016A new video from AB Vista reveals details about why complete phytate destruction in the digestive tract may lead to increased growth efficiency in swine and poultry. The video – the second in the new ‘Extraordinary Science Brought to Life’ series – explains what happens when phytic acid (IP6) is completely broken down by phytase superdosing. “Complete IP6 breakdown leads to the production of inositol – a nutrient that seems to play a valuable role in improving growth and feed conversion,” says Dr Mike Bedford, Research Director at AB Vista. “And tests have shown that the

What is phytase superdosing? AB Vista’s Dr. Mike Bedford explains the science

26 January 2016In a recently released technical video, Mike Bedford, Research Director at AB Vista, highlights new research that more precisely identifies how phytases work in the animal. This helps explain where the performance benefits of phytase superdosing are really coming from and why important differences can be seen between commercial phytases. Many end-users have now adopted the practice of superdosing, using higher phytase doses in feed to reduce the anti-nutritional effects of phytate (IP6) in pigs and poultry. This has proven to give additional animal performance benefits

AB VISTA LAUNCHES ‘EXTRAORDINARY SCIENCE BROUGHT TO LIFE’ VIDEO SERIES AT IPPE

7 January 2016AB Vista is launching a technical video series at this year’s International Production and Processing Expo (IPPE) in January, aimed at sharing information on various key areas of development within animal nutrition technology for 2016. The “Extraordinary Science Brought to Life” video series will feature short technical presentations on a range of global science/nutrition topics. It will highlight the latest research and scientific innovation that AB Vista believes will help deliver better animal feed formulation and real performance gains. “We want to see how science
