NEW CLASSIFICATION OF MANGANESE ADDITIVES IN THE EU: MANGANESE CHELATE OF
ANPA R IO ANNOUNC E S PARTNERSHIP WITH RSB POULTRY
SERVICES LTD Anpario plc are pleased to announce the newly formed alliance with RSB Poultry Services Ltd. Tim Evans, Commercial Director of RSB Poultry will be working alongside Hayley Agnew, Commercial Director for the UK and Europe of Anpario plc. This partnership will offer guidance, solutions and support to farmers within the industry across the UK.
PROTEIN HYDROLYSATES On August 21, the European Commission published the new implementing regulation for the reauthorisation of manganese feed additives in the European Union (EU). This new regulation permits the use of manganese feed additives for a further period of 10 years. One significant change is the introduction of a new classification of manganese chelate called manganese chelate of protein hydrolysates. The introduction of this new classification was in response to a feed additive application received by the European Commission from a sub-group of five members of the European Economic Interest Group – Trace Elements Consortium (TREAC), one of which is Alltech. As with the 2016 authorisation of zinc

Anpario supplies its customers with
quality assured products manufactured in the United Kingdom and has an established global sales and distribution network in over 70 countries, which includes a number of wholly owned subsidiaries in the key markets around the world. Anpario’s portfolio has been developed with specific species in mind. Each product is designed to support the health and profitability of the poultry producers stock. RSB Poultry Services Ltd was founded
in 2013 to offer a turnkey solution to the egg laying industry, RSB has over half a century of experience and expertise spearheaded by its Chairman, Andrew Hignett. Andrew brings a wealth of knowledge, both operational and commercial in the UK egg industry. Tim Evans, also has more than 25 years of experience within the egg industry and has worked with producers for many years giving technical advice and hands on support to maximise the performance and profitability of the producers flocks. Commenting on the new alliance, Hayley
Agnew, Commercial Director for Anpario, says: “Andrew and Tim have extensive industry experience and strong business acumen. They will be a valuable asset to Anpario and we are delighted to welcome them to the team.” Andrew Hignett said: “The RSB Group
is thrilled to have the opportunity to join an organisation such as Anpario and look forward to beginning work with Hayley and her team, as we seek to drive the supply of Anpario products to farmers who are looking to maximise the profitability of their egg laying stock”.
additives, the TREAC consortium requested that the European Commission introduce the term manganese chelate of protein hydrolysates as this more accurately describes the type of manganese chelate formed upon the binding of a soluble manganese mineral with hydrolysed soy protein. For Dr. Gerry Dillon, EU regulatory affairs
manager at Alltech, the new authorisation was greeted as welcome news. “The authorisation of manganese chelate
of protein hydrolysates comes as a result of a lot of work from Alltech and the TREAC consortium over many years,” said Dillon. “We are pleased that EFSA and the European Commission have given their support and approval as this will allow us to market manganese chelate of protein hydrolysates for many years to come.” “Chelated products are those that supply
organic trace elements such as manganese in a form as close to nature as possible and are known to have greater nutritional bioavailability whilst lowering the rates of trace mineral excretion,” he continued. The consortium validated and verified
an analytical method that can determine the precise amount of manganese chelate of protein hydrolysates in the chelated organic form.
“This recently developed technology,
which employs Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, represents the first time that a manganese chelate feed additive can be quantitatively determined,” said Dillon. “Manufacturers and farmers can therefore be reassured that the manganese mineral they receive when they buy manganese chelates of protein hydrolysate has been analytically proven to contain manganese in the organic chelated form unlike blended products which can contain unbound inorganic mineral and soy flour. This feature is important for safeguarding against fraud in the marketplace and provides feed compounders and farmers with the assurance of receiving a product of genuine quality” “FTIR is a non-destructive solid-state

technique, which holds a benefit over traditional methods in that it can analyse samples directly,” said Dillon. “Traditional methods, which require extraction into a liquid phase, can give inaccurate results, as only the soluble fraction can be analysed or the chelate dissociates in the liquid medium. The FTIR methodology has been reviewed and approved by the European Commission and the EU Reference Laboratories, and, in conclusion, the application of the method can not only demonstrate the quality of manganese chelates, but provides assurance in safeguarding against the inadvertent use of fraudulent products circulated in the EU feed additive market.”
NUTRIAD SPONSORS BROILER FEED QUALITY CONFERENCES
IN ASIA As the Asian market is preparing itself for increased regulation on the usage of antibiotics in animal feed, key decision makers in the poultry industry gathered at the Broiler Feed Conferences held in Bangkok (Augusts 16/17) and Jakarta August 21/22). Multinational feed additives producer Nutriad once again presented novel solutions for broiler producers and supported attendants with technical information. Dr . Daniel Rami rez, Business
Development Manager Digest ive Performance, presented a paper on ‘Responsible Use of Antibiotics and the Role of Functional Feed Additives after the AGP Ban’. “There is a need for a target-released, precision delivered butyrate, like ADIMIX PRECISION, not only for gut support, clostridium control and gut healing, but especially for the extra benefit on the control of food safety associated challenges such as Salmonella & Campylobacter compared to other alternative products”, Dr. Ramirez emphasized. Nutriad highlighted APEX 5, which
contains a selection of botanicals, utilizing the quorum sensing technology as a basal program. APEX 5 can be used independently or in combination with sodium butyrate. Dr. Ramirez further stated: “The Asia
pacific region is increasingly looking for natural solutions to improve animal performance and health. The Nutriad portfolio, combined with improved management practices, can support the reduction of AGP usage, as we have seen in other markets across the world.” Chew Boon Kee, Regional Director
Asia Pacific, was pleased with the increased attendance in both events in Bangkok and Jakarta. The company considers it an effective way to directly interact with industry professionals and to show the market that Nutriad is ready to provide proven solutions when usage of AGP’s will be no longer allowed or restricted. “That is why we sponsor these high quality events,” Chew concluded.
