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.

Using NIR analysis to reduce feeding costs
Published Wednesday, 24th May 2017
Nutrition continues to be one of the most critical factors within animal production, with feed costs accounting for up to 80% of the total variable costs.
In a recent article published in Milling & Grain magazine, AB Vista Global Technical Manager Dr Sophie Parker-Norman discusses how the latest NIR technology can help the animal feed industry better understand ingredient quality and variability – and in turn help maximise feed efficiency and animal performance.
In the article, Dr Parker-Norman looks at:
- NIR technology vs traditional analysis methods
- Using NIR to measure phytate levels, corn variability and lysine content
- New developments in NIR technology

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).
