AB Vista to launch Quantum Blue in South Africa

AB Vista is set to introduce Quantum Blue to South Africa, where it is now registered for use.

The product gets its official South African launch in Sun City at this year’s Global Feed and Food Congress (GFFC), where AB Vista is exhibiting, at booth 71, from 10 to 12 April.

First launched with great success across a number of markets in January 2012, Quantum Blue has already delivered unprecedented performance benefits for pig and poultry producers around the world – and further benefits have been delivered to customers applying the superdosing concept to their feeds.

In South Africa the product has been registered under approval number V24691.

With the presence of phytate in animal diets costing around $6 per tonne in lost performance, Quantum Blue is optimised for maximum phytate destruction and improved feed efficiency.

It will not only remove the bulk of phytate from plant-based ingredients, but also release larger amounts of healthy minerals such as phosphorus and calcium. Quantum Blue gives a better feed conversion rate than other phytase products, making it even more cost-effective. The product retains its beneficial properties through feed production processes.

AB Vista’s Global Sales Director Ari Kiviniemi said: "By leading the next generation of phytase products, we can help the African feed industry meet the challenges of today’s highly competitive climate, and unlock more value from feed than was previously possible with phytase.”
