How it works At a typical multi-site feed facility, nutritionists are constantly tweaking and updating feed formulas for maximum results. However, by using the cloud-based BESTMIX ® Formulation as a service platform, changes can be uploaded to the core system and immediately make them available to formulators and partners off-site. Perhaps the biggest impact of the real-time basis is for the feed adviser out in the field. Instead of relying on formulation data downloads to computers, BESTMIX ® Formulation updates information and the core data platform via the cloud or mobile apps. Using this information, nutritionists can then put information on the raw material available at a site and produce a more accurate formulation for the customer. More information.
New! GFMT article: Exploring the challenge of single versus multi-enzyme dosing comparisons
In this article, Dr Helen Masey O'Neil, research manager and Tiago dos Santos, global technical manager, AB Vista, United Kingdom discuss the use of single versus multi-enzyme dosing. While the inclusion of phytases has become almost ubiquitous in monogastric feeding, both to release phosphorus and to reduce the antinutritive effect of phytate itself (superdosing), the use of enzymes to tackle issues associated with non-starch polysaccharides (NSP, i.e. fibre) remains the subject of much discussion.
