Under the banner More from Less, our priority is to improve customer efficiency. From savings on feed costs to improvements in milk production, all of our products and services aim to maximise return on investment for the people with whom we work.

To ensure our customers are getting the best from our two flagship enzyme products – Quantum Blue and Econase XT – we use a holo-analysis system enabling us to capture all relevant data and provide recommendations for efficient use of our products. These recommendations can range from the level of fat supplemented in the feed, to the confirmation of our nutrient matrices, building customer confidence in the products.

Furthermore our Formula 24 Feed Safety Group is committed to finding ways to build ever greater assurance for our customers and partners. Our approach is to benchmark the management and monitoring of our supply chain, our sites and our systems and procedures. Working with customers, supply chains and trade assurance schemes, we continually seek to extend our knowledge and capability to better anticipate and plan for the future.

Running a successful lab usually generates a growing amount of waste – as we found at ESC, our lab in Wales. However, the team was determined to reverse this trend and over the last 12 months have implemented a number of recycling initiatives which now sees plastic labware and feed samples recycled alongside the standard paper, glass and cans. They now recycle over 40% of their waste and have plans to increase this – in fact they have now found a way to recycle the plastic gloves they use, adding another 3% to their over recycling total.

We encourage our offices to develop ties with local schools and colleges to help promote agriculture as a career option – whilst at the same time getting more involved with the community. This local support extends further still with many of our employees taking part in a range of community volunteer and sponsorship programmes in their regions.

Links with local schools and colleges

At AB Vista we are keen for our larger offices to develop links with local schools and colleges so we can help promote agriculture as a career option whilst getting more involved with the local community

ESC in Wales has links with Bridgend College and has supported short term work placements and a longer term industry placement, as well as giving talks on enzyme assays at the College.
Our Marlborough office has teamed up with local secondary school St Johns, and is involved in their career fairs, mock interviews, career talks and annual Science Week.

Community support

Our office in Janesville, USA, supports a local team in the First Lego League (FLL), introducing children aged from 9 to 14 to the fun of science and technology. Our employee Trisha coaches the team and we are also one of their sponsors for the current season.

And when Hurricane Irma hit the East coast of the United States in September 2017, the team in our lab in Plantation, Florida, volunteered to join the relief effort, sorting out food donated for the shelters.
