Seminars highlight latest innovations from Danisco Animal Nutrition
 

 

Key representatives of the poultry and feed industries in the Middle East and Indian sub-continent gathered in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Egypt recently to learn how the latest developments from Danisco Animal Nutrition could improve the profitability of their businesses.

 

While delegates from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Iran met in Abu Dhabi, their counterparts from Tunis, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yemen and Jordan attended a workshop in Cairo to learn more about new technologies, and network with others in the poultry and feed industry.

 

Explaining how Danisco's recently launched phytase feed enzyme Phyzyme™ XP represented good news for poultry producers, Business Manager Awadalla Ombabi told delegates: "Research centres and universities across the world have demonstrated improvements of at least 20 percent in the efficacy of this new generation product compared with traditional phytases. The superior properties of Phyzyme XP mean that broiler and layer producers now have the opportunity to reduce feed costs by at least 20 percent more than many other phytases."

 

Highlighting the benefits of Danisco's new Avicheck™ Corn service, Anne-Marie Debicki-Garnier, Danisco's technical services manager, commented: "Avicheck Corn, another recent Danisco innovation, is a unique analytical service that helps to maximise the nutritional and financial value of corn. This enables feed manufacturers and poultry producers to optimise the use of Danisco's Avizyme® 1500 enzyme range, to improve production uniformity and maximise profitability."

 

Delegates at both seminars also learnt more about the range of applications and benefits of Betafin®, Danisco's versatile feed betaine, a natural plant extract. These included feed cost savings as a result of the product's ability to replace choline and some methionine in the diet, more uniform bird performance under heat stress or disease challenge, better quality end products resulting from increased breast meat and carcass yield, together with Betafin's proven value in AGP-free nutrition.

 

Paul Steen, Danisco's engineering manager, highlighted how Finndose™, the company's liquid application system, ensured that liquid enzymes were accurately and evenly applied to pelleted feed, enabling feed producers to meet ever more stringent food safety legislations.

 

Niels Otto Damholt, Regional Director, outlined Danisco Animal Nutrition's mission, vision and strategy, which was to help customers improve the efficiency and safety of food production in an environmentally responsible way.
