NEWS 8 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE December 2023 Adisseo, one of the world leaders in animal nutrition, announced the publication of a handbook on the liquid additive application in feed. According to the company's statement, liquid additives and supplements, or liquid micro-ingredients, are added at levels of between 0.1 to 5 kg/metric ton, depending on the product. The common stages for inclusion are with raw materials at reception or, in the majority of cases with feed, either in the mixing or post-pelleting phases. In the handbook, the company first provides an overview of additives that can be used in liquid form, when they can be added during the process, and the characteristics to factor in for the right application. The handbook provides a practical guide to gain insights on good practices for equipment design, implementation, and monitoring and reviews all the key steps in applying a liquid additive. Once this is completed, the quality of the application needs to be controlled. Other aspects such as proper sampling, analysis and calculation methods, and assessment of the relevant parameters are also covered in the handbook. The company stated: "We sincerely hope that it will be a helpful guide and provide valuable information to plant managers, quality managers, maintenance managers, process operators, nutritionists, researchers, and equipment developers who would like to know more about the application of liquid additives."

The intelligent nutrition company moved its Latin America headquarters in October to better meet the needs of local representatives and customers in the poultry and swine industries. “Our team in Brazil and throughout Latin America has called the Sky Towers in Indaiatuba our home base since 2018,” said Alessandro Lima, senior regional business manager for Novus in Brazil. “We were fortunate to find a space in our current building that better suits our needs and allows us to continue serving our customers in a permanent environment.” The purpose of the move is to support the hybrid work model that the company embraced during the height of the pandemic, allowing Novus colleagues greater autonomy to do their best work from wherever they are most effective. This change also supports Novus’ new branding initiative, which launched in June. The company updated its mission, vision, and values with an emphasis on customer focus, celebrating teamwork, and empowering employees to embrace agility and innovation. The new location has hot desks, meeting spaces, areas for collaboration, and flexible work areas that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Three conference rooms provide plenty of space for Novus to meet with customers about their poultry or swine operations. “We investigated moving to another area of Brazil but decided Indaiatuba, with its restaurants and hotels, and the proximity to Campinas with its many attractions, Viracopos International Airport, and the city of São Paulo, really has all the amenities we want for our employees and our customers,” said Augusto Araujo, Novus senior procurement and facilities coordinator for Latin America.
