NEWS 24 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2024 The UK manufacturer of energy, protein, and Omega 3 supplements, UFAC-UK, developed a sustainable, environmentally friendly, vegetable source of Omega 3 fatty acids, originating from native algae rather than fish oils. The company notes that this sustainable and traceable source of essential long-chain fatty acids helps fill the Omega 3 supply gap while transferring the benefits from livestock to the consumer via milk, meat, and eggs. “The new algi40 Omega 3 supplement is a traceable, sustainable, high-quality alternative to fish-oil-sourced Omega 3s,” says David Turnbull, UFAC-UK national sales manager. With high levels (40%) of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), in that order, algi40 Omega 3 is designed to enhance the dietary intake of these essential fatty acids in livestock. The company states that this promotes animal well-being while helping to promote growth, production, health, and reproduction, and critically, these long-chain poly Omega 3 fatty acids also bring significant benefits to human health and well-being. Most health organisations around the world recommend a minimum daily intake of 200mg of Omega 3 fatty acids in diets for healthy adults, and with a growing global population of over seven billion people, demand is at an all-time high.

The feed intelligence team demonstrated the benefits of improving fiber fermentation as a strategy to unlock the full potential of fiber in poultry nutrition, including tools to apply the concept in the field. Visitors to AB Vista’s IPPE booth learned about how the fiber concept has evolved over the years, and how AB Vista technical expertise and tools can support the industry further when it comes to fiber applications to enhance poultry productivity. Global Poultry Technical Manager Dr Xavière Rousseau shared findings on how ‘Feed fiber profile and the use of stimbiotics influence broiler productivity and hindgut fermentation’ at IPSF; Research Manager Dr Gemma Gonzales Ortiz presented on ‘Mortality in broiler chickens as a result of feeding a stimbiotic’. Alexandre Barbosa de Brito, AB Vista LATAM Technical Manager, delivered a TECHTalk on ‘Utilising Dietary Fiber for Optimal Performance’. The talk covered advancements in the understanding of fiber, the impact it has on poultry performance and tools that can be used in day-to-day formulations to monitor and utilise fiber for optimal results.
