Dr Hadden Graham, Global Technical Services Director at AB Vista, says technical services are an integral part of the AB Vista customer offering.

“With customer margins under pressure, it’s important that every part of the feed production process is performance-optimised, from purchase of raw materials through to feed formulation, manufacturing, storage and distribution.

“Our technical services team can identify efficiency opportunities across those stages, using our feed quality, laboratory and engineering services. This means customers can be assured they’re making the most of their feed ingredients.”

The two new appointments reflect a strong desire to deliver real value for nutritionists and feed producers, Dr Graham adds.

Dr Parker-Norman has joined AB Vista after completing her PhD in Animal Science at Aberystwyth University. In her role as Technical Services Manager, she will be responsible for managing service providers, customer support and developing new services.
