Higher dietary nutrient contributionsWe have developed an enzyme application strategy called Maximum Matrix Nutrition, which capitalises on the properties of Quantum Blue, an enhanced E. coli phytase with a high affinity for phytate, in addition to a thermostable and inhibitor-resistant xylanase, Econase XT.
Improved monitoring of raw materials and finished feedsOur range of NIR Services aims to provide a convenient and cost-effective ability to analyse feeds and raw materials, using calibrations, process control, support and analytical tools.
Stimulating the microbiome to improve productivityIncreasing understanding of fibre is presenting a new perspective on the valuable role it can play in gut health and therefore, within performance-enhancing nutritional strategies.

Quantum Blue works to unlock all six phosphorus molecules, releasing inositol and valuable nutrients that would otherwise stay bound to phytate.

Advancements in NIR pose opportunities to help optimise phytase
Published Wednesday, 23rd August 2017
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) technology can be used to measure phytate levels in raw materials and finished feeds and this understanding can be used to maximise the use of P-replacement from phytase.
In a recent article published in International Poultry Production, AB Vista Global Technical Manager Dr Sophie Parker-Norman explains how understanding the phytate levels in raw materials and finished feed can help nutritionists:
- Optimise the dose of phytase without risking performance losses or welfare problems due to phosphorous deficiency
- Ensure more accurate formulation and thereby reducing costs

Online Feed Fibre Calculator
Calculate the percentage of dietary fibre in your feed
Our calculator is designed for nutritionists and uses averages of global raw materials to calculate the dietary fibre content (plus other more in-depth fibre parameters) of finished animal feed. These parameters are available within AB Vista’s Dietary Fibre analysis service (part of our NIR service).
