Quantum Blue now launched in Europe

Registered for all poultry (broilers, layers, turkeys, breeders and other minor species) and all pigs (piglets, weaners, growers, finishers and sows), Quantum Blue is the most powerful and effective phytase on the market, delivering enhanced benefits – including more effective phytate destruction – that have been confirmed in university and commercial trials across the globe.

First launched in the USA in January 2012, Quantum Blue has provided significant improvements in formulation costs, feed efficiency and return on investment for AB Vista customers throughout the USA, South America and Asia – benefits now available to customers in the European Union.

A composite of six broiler superdosing trials using Quantum Blue showed an average four point improvement in bodyweight-corrected feed conversion, equivalent to a cost saving of €4-6/tonne of feed. Nineteen pig trials using control diets adequate in all nutrients, including phosphorus, demonstrated improved average daily gain in 16 of the trials (84%) and feed conversion efficiency in 14 (74%) – results directly attributable to phytate elimination by Quantum Blue.

“Quantum Blue breaks down phytate faster and more completely than any previous product on the market,” adds Dr Rob ten Doeschate, AB Vista’s Technical Director for EMEA. “It does this by delivering higher levels of activity at the low pH found in the stomach, continuing to degrade phytate even at low concentrations, and reaching this site of action intact and available thanks to its revolutionary ability to withstand higher temperature feed processing.”
