THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ON MINTREX®
NOVUS INTERNATIONAL AT
EUROTIER 2018 Seminars on the latest scientific research on MINTREX were hosted by Novus at Eurotier. The aim was to reinforce the benefits of its exclusive bi-chelate molecule and to show the latest research of the “MINTREX Reduce and Replace” strategy. These seminars brought together experts from Europe to discuss the various challenges facing hyperprolific sows and high performing broiler breeders. The swine seminar revealed the
conclusions of a two-year field trial conducted in eighty-two Spanish commercial farms that compared three different sources of trace minerals. The results showed that sows fed with the MINTREX “Reduce and Replace strategy” had reduced mortality rates, lower culling rates and improved litter performance than sows fed with other trace minerals, both organic and inorganics. “These results in the field are supported by a recent scientific study carried out by the North Carolina State University, in which the epigenetic and gene expression effects of MINTREX leading to better quality piglets have been demonstrated,” said Mercedes Vazquez- Anon, Senior Director of Animal Nutrition and Facilities at Novus. Likewise, Peter Kappel Theil, Sr. Researcher, Department of Animal Science from the University in Aarhus, Denmark, talked about amino acids requirements in hyperprolific sows. He shared relevant information on how amino acid requirements during lactation are grossly determined by the milk yield, and explained how two component feeding (partly uncoupling of energy and amino acids) is a promising approach to minimise body mobilisation and increase milk yield. In the poultry seminar, Stanislaw Budnik,
Sr. Technical Service Manager for Eastern EU for Novus, addressed the strength of MINTREX

in breeder hen nutrition, in supporting their health and lifetime performance and its permanent effect on hatchability and chick quality, thus ensuring a good start of the broiler production cycle. “It is possible to raise your breeder performance and progeny development to a higher level with less zinc, copper and manganese when offered in a higher bioavailable, more efficient form like MINTREX chelated trace minerals” said Silvia Peris, Head of Technical Services in Europe and Middle East for Novus. Mr. Paul van Boekholt, Manager Global Marketing, Hubbard, continued by explaining how consumer demand and animal welfare increasingly steer the broiler market and thus genetic development of parent stock, resulting in new premium products, broiler concepts at retail level.

ONE: THE ALLTECH IDEAS
CONFERENCE ONE: The Alltech Ideas Conference (ONE19), the global ideas forum, returns in 2019 for its 35th year. Taking place at the Rupp Arena and Heritage Hall, Lexington, Kentucky on May 19–21, 2019 the conference explores the transformative power of ideas. ONE19 is a unique conference that transcends culture and industry, presenting technology-driven topics that impact agriculture, business, health and wellness, and brewing and distilling.
A I C A W A R D S T A S C C CERTIFICATION BODY CONTRACT
TO KIWA The Agricultural Industries Confederation has announced that Kiwa has been appointed as the certification body (CB) to run the Trade Assurance Scheme for Combinable Crops (TASCC) for the next four years. The contract which runs from 1 May 2019
to 30 April 2023 has been awarded to KIWA following a lengthy tender process which involved AIC staff and TASCC Working Group members interviewing four organisations. “All certification bodies demonstrated comprehensive levels of ‘added value’, however, Kiwa was the most aligned to the TASCC requirements, especially in the areas of new innovation,” said Garry Rudd, TASCC Technical Manager. “We look forward to delivering additional value to all TASCC participants through innovations to be launched in the near future. “Feed and food safety, both in the UK and
overseas has never been more important. AIC will continue developing TASCC to meet any new market requirements that arise.”
