Dear Dr. O'Neill,Thank you for a detailed review of the current technologies of multi-enzyme compositions or lack thereof. I am sure it will serve a solid basis for AB Vista to develop the next generation solution, more effective than the current products from Alltech, Kemin and Canadian Biosystems.Some side notes:1. Enzyme efficacy strongly depends on the grain variety used in the diet. For examp ...

As I understand, the new technology is described in the recent US patent 8,318,475, Yiannikouris, et al., November 27, 2012. It teaches "culturing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells in growth medium which comprises from 1% to 2.0% by weight of bentonite". Nice.

Good article about the effects of deoxynivalenol in broiler chickens. Actually, the weight gains were constantly higher, despite a wide margin of error, on DON-contaminated diet! This again confirms that broilers are not the main species suffering from DON. The same 1.5 mg/kg of feed of DON would be devastating on piglets and somewhat economically detrimental to milking cows. On broilers the real ...

We have modified the in-vitro testing conditions for binder evaluation for our own purposes. Instead of adsorbing small amounts of mycotoxins (0.05 - 0.01 mg/L) we use realistic mycotoxin concentrations, where they start to cause economic damages (1 mg/L). We also do not use pH 3, because this is a very little to ask from a good binder. We use pH 6.5 from the very beginning and all the way through ...
