AB VISTA identifies opportunities for incremental gains at IPPE 2018 – Hall C, Booth 2569
The phytase sector has seen substantial growth over the past 10 years. Traditionally phytase was used to release phosphorus, but now feed manufacturers are much more aware of the so called ‘extra-phosphoric effects’ that can be exploited from targeting complete breakdown of the phytate level of the diet. Within the enzyme sector as a whole, it may be that the secondary effects begin to be seen as being of equal importance as the primary effects, inositol release being one example.
Better knowledge of the limiting factors within the diet, be it anti-nutritional factors or variation within raw materials, can improve the way in which products such as phytase are applied, to tap into incremental gains that may otherwise be lost or not realised.
“Four or five years ago, people were using phytase to release phosphorus. Now we understand more about phytate and its influence on nutrients, as well as animal performance, and we can formulate diets based on more complete phytate destruction and provision of nutrients beyond phosphorus.”– Carrie Walk, Senior Research Manager, AB Vista.
Phytate is present in all plant-based feedstuffs and is known to bind with proteins and minerals in the diet, reducing digestibility and utilisation of important nutrients supplied. An improved understanding of the phytate level within diets can provide a better picture of what is going on within the animal, helping producers to manage any anti-nutritional effects.
When using a phytase with high phytate affinity such as Quantum Blue, several options for phytase application are available depending on whether the end goal is to increase performance or reduce feed costs. Having an understanding of the phytate level opens up more opportunities for producers to apply phytase and extract even more value from their feed.
At AB Vista we work with you to evaluate the phytate level within your feedstuffs, offering advice on how to extract even more value from your phytase.
To find out how AB Vista can help you identify margin opportunities across your production process, visit the AB Vista stand (C2569) at IPPE.

MAREL POULTRY launches Nugget Line, ATLAS and more at IPPE – Hall B, Booth 4321
Advancing poultry processing to the next level
At the 2018 IPPE expo, Marel Poultry, proven global market leader in poultry processing solutions, will launch many innovations, all of them designed to make life easier for processors and add value to their processes. A world’s first is the Automated Nugget Line, which will surely be warmly welcomed in the homeland of the nugget.
Marel Poultry has developed the integrated Automated Nugget Line to facilitate machine-driven whole muscle nugget production. The system consists of an I-Cut 122 which cuts fillets into strips. Next in line is the SingleFeed to singulate the strips. The brand new Marel StripPositioner plays a crucial role in the process; it rotates incoming strips 90 degrees and spaces them appropriately so they are in the perfect position for the second I-Cut 122. This portion cutter will then take care of optimized nugget portioning. Marel Poultry’s automated cubing solution is truly “a cut above” and saves considerable labor.
Animal welfare
At IPPE, Marel Poultry also launches its Stork ATLAS live bird handling system in the USA. The complete configuration features destacking, washing and restacking, but the heart of the system is the technologically advanced SmartStack module, which not only gives high attention to animal welfare but also increases efficiency significantly. While providing more space to each bird, the cleverly designed SmartStack increases loading capacity, which means fewer truck movements and therefore less CO2 emission. By upholding food safety and preventing cross-contamination, ATLAS also sets new standards in hygiene. At Marel Poultry’s IPPE booth, the ATLAS showcase will be combined with a CAS SmoothFlow controlled atmosphere stunning application, showing the harmonious integration of both solutions.
Perfectly batching large products
Another first for the USA is the brand new MHW Medium. It’s the latest, largest and smartest member of Marel’s multihead weigher family. Featuring 20 heads, it can be used for packing fresh, sticky poultry parts into fixed-weight batches. The MHW Medium is particularly fit for the US market, as it can batch bigger breast fillets, thighs, drumsticks, wings, tenderloins and nuggets. The new screw design ensures correct singulation; products cannot stick to each other. With only one product in each hopper, it is much easier to make perfect fixed-weight batches, resulting in fewer rejects and higher throughput.

Meyn Opening machine 240 (world premiere)
