Since its inception in 2004, AB Vista has grown to be a leading player in supplying enzymes to the global animal feed industry and livestock farm businesses. With a reputation for scientific capability and products backed by extensive trials and evidence, the business has been seeking to expand its offering to better address the biggest challenges facing the industry today – producing more from less and supporting animal health and welfare.
Many of the most common and problematic diseases found in livestock affect the animals’ gut, so maintaining gut health is vital in responsible and productive livestock farming systems.

Livestock producers can minimise the risk of disease and reduce the use of antibiotics and other therapeutic medicines by focusing on building gut health and immune system robustness, rather than treating animals once disease is prevalent. This increases the number of healthy animals produced.
The gut is a complex area to manage, not least because of the interaction between the animal, its conditions and its unique microbiome comprising billions of microorganisms.
So AB Vista’s research has focused in part on identifying biomarkers of microbiome health, such as those that indicate the balance between fibre and protein fermentation and the population of some potentially pathogenic bacteria families.
This research underpins AB Vista’s new gut health service for piglets and broiler chicken producers, bringing together its health expertise, its gut health testing and a product portfolio featuring feed additive products which all combine to enhance gut health without the use of medicine. One example of such a product is Progres, a patented natural feed material derived from coniferous trees with active ingredients proven to reduce the damage caused by inflammation in poultry and livestock.
We believe AB Vista is uniquely well positioned because it is now able to combine its well-developed existing routes to market with its recently enhanced offer made up of products, services and expertise. As our capability in diagnostics and data analysis grows further, we hope to enter new markets with this broad solution-led offering.
