Premier Nutrition launches fourth
global ingredients matrix
Premier Nutrition has launched the latest edition of its industry-leading raw ingredients matrix, Premier Atlas, to provide the industry with the latest, and most precise ingredient values for efficient animal feed formulation. With over 260 raw materials and in excess of 40,000 nutrients,
Premier Atlas is the only publication of its kind to support nutritionists and suppliers with a comprehensive description of listed ingredients, as well as their production, antinutritive factors and processing details Generated through Premier-owned research and global
information sources, this latest edition includes an additional 59 new raw ingredients, explains author and Premier pig product director, Mick Hazzledine. “Through Premier Atlas, we collate, analyse and interpret the latest data and research to accurately define the nutrients in individual
raw materials, so that predetermined animal performance can be achieved,” explains Mick. “This enables rations to be reformulated when commodity
prices fluctuate to maintain consistent nutrient supply and animal performance, at the lowest feed cost,” he adds. “With this information we can help our global customer base and their farmers, stay ‘ahead of the curve’ of emerging trends.”
The future of monogastric nutrition Referencing some of the raw materials within Premier Atlas, Steve Pritchard, Premier poultry director, says there are some exciting developments on the horizon for the animal feed industry. “With technological advancements and benefits of scale of
production, we’re now seeing greater availability of crystalline amino acids (AAs), which allow us to more accurately match nutritional
PIG DIETS OF THE FUTURE
The following table illustrates some of the key trends discussed, in a pig finishing formulation. In the 1970s, feeds were heavily based upon soya, as
crystalline AA usage was limited by price and availability and rape meal was still high in anti-nutritive factors. Today, with better quality rapeseed meal, a greater range of
AAs and more sophisticated nutritional knowledge, crude protein has been reduced from 20% to 16.2%, which is roughly a 38% reduction in nitrogen excretion, and soya usage has reduced from 24 to 7.5%. In the next 12 months, availability of additional AAs will allow us greater flexibility to reduce protein or soya further, albeit at a cost. Further into the future, if the agenda is heavily focused on
sustainability, then in the following formulation the majority of raw materials are produced in the UK. There is no soya, and a number
