AB Vista introduced a free tool to assist nutritionists to formulate animal diets. The dietary fiber calculator uses average values of global raw materials to calculate the dietary fiber content, plus other more in-depth fiber parameters, of finished animal feed.

The calculator offers the option of entering up to 28 different raw materials, along with the daily total intake in kg, to show the fiber composition of the feed and the daily fiber intake in either a data or graphic view.

“We have designed this calculator to be a straightforward, easy to access way to assess the total dietary fiber content of the finished feed,” said Xaviere Rousseau, Global Technical Support manager. “The parameters within the calculator represent the values that are available within our new Dietary Fibre analysis service, part of our comprehensive NIR offering.”

The calculator is accessible at abv-calculators.com/fibre.
