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 Pigs 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. Zn Ca Most people (approximately 9%) 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. Estimates suggest that wasting the nutritional power associated with phytate could be costing the global swine industry over $1 billion every year
AN ENHANCED E.COLI PHYTASE, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO UNLOCK NUTRIENT POTENTIAL FROM PHYTATE MAKES THE MOST OF YOUR FEED Many phytases release phosphorus, but Quantum Blue is the phytase that goes further, primarily due to its high affinity for phytate. 5 FTU/KG ONLY RELEASES THE FIRST TWO PHOSPHATES PROVIDING A 1.3 POINT FCR BENEFIT You could be wasting 6% of the value within and bound to phytate by applying low levels of a sub-optimal phytase. 6 1 MAXIMUM PHYTATE BREAKDOWN WITH QUANTUM BLUE AT 15 2 FTU/KG (SUPERDOSING) PROVIDING A 3 4 POINT FCR BENEFIT Alkaline phosphatase 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.

Inositol plays a key role in cell survival and growth, central nervous system development and function, bone structure and formation, metabolism and reproduction. avp% release.25.2.15.1.5 9% phytate degradation 5 1 15 2 25 Concentration (µmol/g) 35. 3. 25. 2. 15. 1. 5..

CAN BE FLEXIBLY APPLIED TO ACHIEVE YOUR PRODUCTION GOALS SHED LIGHT ON YOUR PHYTATE CONTENT USING NEAR INFRARED (NIR) TECHNOLOGY PERFORMANCE BENEFITS By applying Quantum Blue at 15 25 on top of a standard diet, you can increase animal performance COST SAVINGS Quantum Blue is proven to deliver consistent nutrient availability, maximising feed cost savings 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.
