AB Vista showcased how its gut health findings and nutritional solutions supported animal producers at VIV Asia 2025, which took place from 12-14 March in Bangkok, Thailand.
The company hosted two technical seminars at the event, providing insights on key gut health biomarkers in monogastrics and the role of in-feed resin acids in improving animal performance and welfare.
AB Vista’s Head of Global Technical, Dr Gilson Gomes, delved into the benefits of natural resin acids in animal production. Exploring the science behind in-feed resin acids, he examined how their use supported gut integrity and improved resilience and performance naturally.
Dr Gomes also shared practical insights into the application of Progres® – the first and only product in the animal feed market to leverage the power of natural resin acids. The seminar, ‘Progres: The science behind the use of resin acids to improve animal welfare and performance of animals,’ took place on Wednesday, 12 March at 1pm THA, in Jupiter 9.
In a separate session, Global Services Manager Dr Virginie Blanvillain set out how AB Vista successfully applied advanced microbiome analysis in the field. She presented how the microbiome analysis toolkit developed by AB Vista enabled producers, nutritionists, and veterinarians to assess the impact of different nutritional and operational approaches on broiler and piglet gut health status. The seminar, ‘Understanding of gut health biomarkers in piglets and broiler chickens,’ took place on Wednesday, 12 March at 2pm THA, in Jupiter 9.
In addition, AB Vista held its own seminar on 11th March at 4pm THA at The Landmark Bangkok Hotel focusing on South Asia. End users from India and Bangladesh spent the day with Usama Aftab (AB Vista Technical Director, ASPAC), Virginie Blanvillain, PhD (AB Vista Global Services Manager), and Gilson Gomes (Head of Global Technical) discussing animal nutrition technology, sharing insights on global feed issues, and exploring how research and applied science could bring real commercial value. The discussions delved into Signis, Vistacell, and AB Vista’s services, offering a greater understanding of the significance of animal gut health and how its portfolio helped businesses meet their objectives.
