OUR PHYTASE TECHNOLOGY TAKES PRODUCTIVITY

TO ANOTHER LEVEL. THE QUANTUM LEVEL

UNLOCK NUTRITIONAL VALUE FROM PHYTATE IN FEED

PHYTATE: THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF PHOSPHORUS IN MOST FEEDS AND A TARGET FOR ENHANCED NUTRIENT UTILISATION

Chickens are limited in their ability to break down phytate efficiently. The nutrients within and bound to phytate are therefore unavailable to the animal, reducing feed efficiency and increasing nutrient excretion.

Estimates suggest that wasting the nutritional power associated with phytate could be costing the global poultry industry over $1 billion every year�

Most people (approximately 90%) use a phytase to improve feed efficiency and, in general, we are seeing a trend towards higher usage per tonne treated. However, the benefits of a phytase come from not only the dose applied but also from the use of a product that is optimised for phytate breakdown. When taken together, these qualities ensure that you can make every molecule matter.

• Quantum Blue is specifically designed to unlock maximum value from phytate to release all the inherent nutrition from your feed

• Quantum Blue can be flexibly applied to achieve your production goals

– Enhance performance; proven to improve FCR by ~4 points in broilers

– Potential to reduce feed cost per tonne by up to $20/tonne depending on the market

TAKE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY TO ANOTHER LEVEL.THE QUANTUM LEVEL

AN ENHANCED E.COLI PHYTASE, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO UNLOCK NUTRIENT POTENTIAL FROM PHYTATEMany phytases release phosphorus, but Quantum Blue is the phytase that goes further, primarily due to its high affinity for phytate.

500 FTU/KG ONLY RELEASES THE FIRST TWO PHOSPHATES PROVIDING A 1.3 POINT FCR BENEFIT

You could be wasting 60% of the value within and bound to phytate by applying low levels of a sub-optimal phytase.

Inositol plays a key role in cell survival and growth, central nervous system development and function, bone structure and formation, metabolism and reproduction.

SHED LIGHT ON YOUR PHYTATE CONTENT USING NEAR INFRARED (NIR) TECHNOLOGY

Phytate varies within raw materials. If this is not accounted for in formulation, it leads to greater variation in dietary phytate content.

AB Vista Feed Quality Service uses near infrared (NIR) technology to provide analysis of the phytate-P level in raw materials and finished feeds.

This allows for application of the maximum dose of phytase dependent on dietary phytate-P level to provide the greatest financial return, whilst ensuring this is achieved without risking performance or welfare problems due to phosphorus deficiency.

QUANTUM BLUE REDUCES THE NEED FOR EXPENSIVE INGREDIENTS BY UTILISING EVERY NUTRITIONAL ELEMENT OF PHYTATE

Unlike other phytases, Quantum Blue efficiently unlocks all six phosphorus molecules during digestion, releasing the inherent nutrition contained within feed. By maximising phytate breakdown, Quantum Blue liberates nutrients – these can be used to increase animal performance, or for a feed cost reduction. Together, these crucial components help contribute to a sustainable farming industry.
