NEWS 24 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2025 During IPPE, Amandus Kahl presented its pioneering solutions as a manufacturer of processing plants. The expander OE 23.2 and the crushing roller mill WSB 2040.2 with individual drive, among others, set new standards in efficiency, quality and sustainability, and impressively demonstrate how modern approaches can improve feed processing and animal welfare, according to the company’s statement. The latest generation of the expander OE 23.2 from Amandus Kahl is extremely versatile, the company points out. It combines moisture, temperature and pressure to optimize the nutritional, hygienic and physical properties of animal feed. Treatment in the expander breaks down plant cells and effectively eliminates micro-organisms such as salmonella, significantly improving feed quality. At the same time, the expander increases the efficiency of the downstream pelleting process by up to 50 per cent, enables significant energy savings and reduces the CO₂ footprint. The hydraulically adjustable cone reportedly allows pressure and temperature to be continuously adjusted during operation, with working pressures from 5 to 120 bar and temperatures from 90 to 130°C - ideal for a wide range of feed applications. In addition, the expander ensures the highest hygiene standards and can replace conventional hygienization processes. The company lists another benefit as the contribution to animal welfare: Gentle expansion preserves the coarse structure of the feed, which improves the digestion and health of pigs and poultry. For demanding applications such as cattle feed, a special crown outlet enables the production of rumen-stable proteins – ‘undegradable proteins’ (UDP). These ‘bypass proteins’ improve the digestion and thus increase the performance of dairy cows and fattening cattle without affecting their rumen system.

Global Services Manager Dr Virginie Blanvillain Rivera delivered a TECHTalk focusing on the need for reliable and specific biomarkers to monitor the gastrointestinal health status of animals – and how this data can be interpreted in the field to support better performance. The presentation, ‘A novel technology for testing the intestinal health status of broilers in the field to support flock resilience, profitability and efficiency’, shared more on the technology developed by AB Vista, and its successful application in broiler chickens. It took place on Wednesday 29 January. Phytase was also be a key focus for AB Vista at the event, with two oral presentations being delivered by Global Poultry Technical Manager Xavière Rousseau at the 2025 International Poultry Scientific Forum at IPPE, on Monday 27 January.
