AB Vista will present the findings and commercial implications from the first International Phytase Summit at an exclusive seminar to be held at Eurotier.

The International Phytase Summit was a unique interactive technical symposium involving many of the world’s leading academic authorities in the field of phytase and phytate in animal nutrition. Discussions ranged from the analysis of phytate and phytase, to skeletal integrity and the future of phytase use in animal nutrition.©

Commenting on the seminar, Dr. Mike Bedford, Research Director for AB Vista, said; “The Summit was a landmark event and the outcomes will radically change the way phytase and phytate are viewed. I am very much looking forward to sharing the feedback from our discussions and the papers with our customers at our exclusive seminar.”
