Having recently hosted the first International Fibre Summit, AB Vista will be bringing to the show a host of expert insights into the changing role of dietary fibre in monogastric nutrition from this event.
Visitors to the company’s stand (A949) will discover ways in which fibre can be exploited for improved animal performance, as well as having the opportunity to learn about a new functional additive, categorised as ‘stimbiotic’.
AB Vista’s Research Director Dr Mike Bedford explains more:
“The concept of stimbiotic involves products that have the ability to stimulate the development of a fibre fermentable microbiome."
“The stimbiotic concept is different to how prebiotics are described; rather than adding a product in high concentration to be used as a substrate for hindgut fermentation, the stimbiotic concept is about including a low concentration of products that are used as a signal or kickstarter, driving the microbiome to ferment the fibre that is already present in the gut.”
AB Vista’s experts will demonstrate how Signis, the first stimbiotic, accelerates the development of a fibre-degrading microbiome and increases nutrient digestibility, enabling nutritionists to improve fermentation of fibre sources that would otherwise be undegraded.
During the event, AB Vista’s Global Technical Manager Gilson Gomes will discuss how to ‘Improve Gut Function and Animal Performance by Stimulating a Fibre Fermenting Microbiome’ at the Tech Talk, taking place on Wednesday 29th January, from 2.30 PM in Hall A – Booth A246.
Gilson Gomes outlines the value of such information:
“Exploring the changing role of fibre in monogastric nutrition is key in helping nutritionists and producers gain a deeper understanding of the beneficial bacteria that ferment fibre – for improvements across animal performance and welfare.”
