NEW EDITION OF ADISSEO’S REFERENCE BOOK ABOUT


METHIONINE Adisseo has enriched its Methiopedia, the reference guide on methionine forms, used in animal feeds. The book offers a complete description of


the three forms of methionine: L-Methionine, DL-methionine and OH-Methionine with their characteristics and properties. It also compiles trial results on nutritional and technological aspects. Compared to the first edition, this new book is enriched with another five years of research, scientific review and increase knowledge in methionine. Metabolism, utilisation of methionine


forms by animals and also formulation considerations are tackled and enriched in this new release of Methiopedia. You will also find new data on methionine sources comparison: trials comparing L-Methionine, DL-Methionine and OH-Methionine in broilers, trials on ducks, swine, literature review of methionine sources comparison in fish species, etc. Technology is also at the heart of this


new edition with: methionine distribution equipment, recommendations on their maintenance, specific results obtained for liquid OH-Methionine like energy savings during pelleting are presented among other subjects. The book is intended for nutritionists,


purchasers, formulators, quality and technical managers within the premix and feed industries, as well as students, who want to enhance their knowledge of methionine and its use. Adisseo customers can get a copy of this book by contacting their local sales representative.

NEW APPLICATION RATE FOR ECONASE XT IN LAYING HENS AND PIGS FOR FATTENING


PUBLISHED A new EU application rate has been approved for AB Vista’s Econase XT xylanase. Following submission of additional data and a thorough review by EFSA, the European Commission has now published an amended version of the annex, reducing the minimum dosage of Econase XT for laying hens and pigs for fattening. This means that users in the EU can now apply Econase XT in feed for laying hens at a level in line with that normally recommended across the world. As the most heat resistant xylanase,


Econase XT has shown efficacy in broilers, laying hens and pigs, giving benefits across a wide range of feed ingredients in terms of feed efficiency, performance and cost savings.


NOVUS EUROPEAN SWINE ROUNDTABLE TAKES INTEREST IN THE CHAL LENGES OF


HYPERPROLIFIC SOWS Novus International, Inc. has hosted a European Swine Nutrition Roundtable in Barcelona, November, 27-28, bringing together European pig industry’s leading experts to share knowledge and learn opportunities in swine production. Nowadays, sows are more productive


than before due to the enormous progress in the industry. However, this new generation of sows brings some new challenges that require innovative nutrition and management solutions. With this event, Novus has brought awareness on the topic in helping to update the nutritional and management approaches to match the challenges producers face. The roundtable gathered 28 participants


from across Europe to discuss the challenges and new tendencies on nutrition and management of sows and piglets. Recognised key opinion leaders of the swine industry in Spain presented their innovative approaches: Antonio Palomo Yagüe, University of


Minnesota-UCM-SETNA/ADM, made an exhaustive review of the new requirements and challenges of hyperprolific sows. “Sows need more micronutrients than macronutrients. This is the same that is happening in economy”, indicated Palomo. “And the most important is the quality of these micronutrients”. On this subject, a 2-year field trial conducted in Spain was shown, comparing three different sources of trace minerals in sows. The trial demonstrated superior benefits of MINTREX on sow reproduction and development of the progeny parameters compared to other trace minerals, both organic and inorganic. Novus experts explained how the exclusive MINTREX bis-chelate molecule, which is highly bioavailable for an optimised absorption, is the responsible for these improvements. Simon Tibble, Director of Innovation and


Development, Alternative Swine Nutrition (ASN), gave an extensive description on the challenges and management of piglets during the nursery and post-weaning phases. “Optimising sow nutrition and management pre and postpartum is key to ensure correct optimal colostrum intake per piglet. Adequate nutrition and management of creep feeding to ensure intestinal maturation, quality raw materials and support of the immune system are factors that need to be considered from a holistic perspective,” said Tibble. Joan Sanmartín, General Manager,


Optimal Pork Production (OPP), clarified the new reference parameters on productivity and health designed by his group to respond to the current needs of the industry, as well as the innovation models he is using to optimise productivity. In addition, he offered a webcam tour to the farm Albesa Ramadera in Lleida, Spain. “This innovative P Plus farm has


3,300 sows and is also used as a training centre and model farm to show how it meets animal welfare regulations and uses the latest technology” explained Sanmartín. These collaborations are key to reveal


the areas of high priority in the swine industry. Novus aim is to take the insights from the event to further develop effective approaches to boost animal performance and producer profitability through its solutions.


NEW RESEARCH IDENTIFIES OPTIMUM ENZYME RATIOS FOR


MATRIX BENEFIT A new four-way comparative study from AB Vista has identified the precise combination of phytase and xylanase required to effect significant improvement in the nutritional matrix and associated savings in feed cost. The research investigated the effect of


four variants of feed formulation on a total of 912 male chicks. Distributed via a randomised complete


block design, with four treatments across 12 pen replicates, chicks received diets ranging incrementally from an enzyme-free feed, to a diet fully supplemented with 2,000FTU/kg of Quantum Blue phytase and 9,600BXU/kg of Econase XT xylanase. Summarising the results recorded from


zero to 42 days of age, AB Vista’s LAM Technical Manager, Dr. Alexandre Barbosa de Brito, revealed that: “A significant difference was observed across weight corrected FCR, which was reduced by 27 points in birds fed the fully supplemented diet, compared to those receiving the enzyme-free feed. Evaluating the total cost of production, broilers receiving fully supplemented diets were cheapest across all four treatments, proving that this strategy generates a real competitive advantage in terms of both performance and profits.” The study is one in a series of 10 poultry


and swine trials supporting the company’s new enzyme application, Maximum Matrix Nutrition – which delivers complete phytate breakdown, reduces viscosity and increases fibre fermentability. Mr de Brito outlines the related mode of action: “The precisely calibrated application of phytase and xylanase essentially has a dual effect, increasing the use of amino acids, minerals and energy, whilst also working on the respective substrates to minimise antinutritive effects. The cumulative benefit for producers is a considerable improvement in feed efficiency – and a significant reduction in feed costs.” In broiler validation trials conducted


globally, the new application has generated average feed cost savings in excess of US$15 per tonne.
