Nutriad promotes feed additive solutions in Asia
Nutriad was an active participant at the recent VICTAM Asia 2018, a trade show focused on feed processing, additives, ingredients and aqua feed in Asia.
The event, along with various conferences, took place in Bangkok, Thailand, allowing industry professionals and academics from across the region to participate and discuss the latest developments in the dynamic feed market.
BK Chew (pictured, right), APAC director of Nutriad, explained that it was the first time the company participated at VICTAM and highlighted the efficient setup as it could participate in three major conferences - Aqua Feed Horizon, FIAAP and GRAPAS - at the same time.
Dr. Glenn Alfred Ferriol (pictured, left), area manager for the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, presented on "Mycotoxin Management in Stored Grains" at GRAPAS, where he analysed the difference between controlling mould growth and managing the risk of mycotoxin contamination in grains. He emphasised that raw materials such as corn, are already contaminated with mycotoxins right at plantations and upon harvest, as was shown by the annual mycotoxin survey.
Depending on how long grains are stored silos, an appropriate anti-mold programme needs to be applied to control the mould growth, which in turn will help minimise the increase in the level of storage mycotoxins. The next step is to do a confirmatory testing using a more accurate method (GC/LC-MS/MS) in testing the finished feeds or end products. Nutriad's app, MYCOMAN®, allows producers to determine and apply the right mycotoxin deactivators and dosage.
Nutriad offers an effective anti-mould product range (MOLD-NIL®), mycotoxin deactivators (UNIKE®, TOXY-NIL PLUS® and TOXY-NIL®), and services like raw material screening to help asses and address the risk of mycotoxin contamination.

"Nutriad's ADIMIX® product range exploit the proven health benefits of butyrate and provides a cost-effective option to improve animal performance. ADIMIX® Precision enhances enteric development and intestinal health as well as nutrient absorption. It furthermore provides support for the control of Salmonella and Campylobacter infections," Ramirez explained.
