Three Become One meets
feed safety standards

Animal nutrition currently faces many challenges. In addition to technical performance, food safety and animal welfare are becoming increasingly important. Food safety and the ban on antibiotic growth promoters in the EU are significant issues.

Joosten Products has developed a unique feeding concept for piglets up to 25 kilos of live weight. This is a compound of high-quality, safe and balanced con-

centrates: Three Become One. Three Become One can easily be used together with local ingredients. The feeding concept provides nutritionists with the tool they need to formulate a well-balanced piglet feed with all of the nutrients required to fully stimulate the immune system and to promote healthy digestive organs.

All three concentrates are unique and when combined Three Become One. This feeding concept is one of a kind and combines the advantages of these three concen-

trates to provide an optimal balanced feed
that meets current quality and food safety
standards. The feeding concept enables
you to formulate a well-balanced piglet feed
with all the nutrients needed to fully stimulate
the immune system and to promote healthy
digestive organs. Three Becomes One can
be used from the first feed intake until 25
kilos of live weight.

Danisco launches
thermostable phytase

Danisco Animal Nutrition has launched a new highly-thermostable phytase (Phyzyme XP TPT), which is claimed to be the most heat stable phytase on the market. New Thermo Protection Technology ( TP T) developed by Danisco ensures that the phytase maintains efficacy after exposure to feed conditioning and pelleting temperatures of up to 95°C (203°F). TPT applies a coating to the phytase enzyme which delivers protection from the high temperatures that typically occur during the feed pelleting process, while rapidly releasing the enzyme activity in the animal’s gut, without compromising animal performance. Dr Andrew Harker, Danisco’s Marketing and Technical Services Director, commented, “This new coating technology delivers a free-flowing, dust-free phytase granulate

that can be used easily and confidently
in the vast majority of feed manufactur-
ing processes globally. Coupled with the
leading-edge performance of this new
generation phytase feed enzyme, which is
proven to deliver at least 20 percent greater
efficacy than traditional phytases, Phyzyme
XP TPT offers unrivalled thermostability,
performance and value.”

Unique soluble fibres key
to full growth potential

Purina Feed has introduced a new Cornerstone^® Full Growth Potential Milk Replacer and Startena^® calf feeding programme. If you want to grow TLC (taller, longer calves) calves that can enter the milking string at 22 months, Purina Cornerstone® Full Growth Potential technology is for you, says the company.

Research results on calves fed Cornerstone Full Growth Potential 28: 20 showed 35 lb. more gain through weaning than calves moved to a more traditional programme. The company says the increased growth came from muscle and frame, not fat. They were taller, longer and heavier at weaning, with a body volume advantage of over 11 gallons. The company says the advantages continue to multiply post-weaning, resulting in taller, longer heifers.
