European Commission Approves the Use of Liquid and Granulate Phyzyme XP in Pig and Poultry
“Phyzyme XP also reduces phosphorus excretion by more than 30%. This environmental benefit is particularly important during a time when concerns about pollution control are increasingly high on the agenda.”
16/04/07 Liquid and granulate Phyzyme XP is now approved for use in broiler, layer, turkey, duck, sow, piglet and grower/finisher feeds.
Andrea Barletta, Danisco Animal Nutrition’s Marketing Director welcomed the news, and commented:
“The EU’s decision is good news for pig and poultry producers. This is the first phytase approved for use across all the main poultry species – including ducks.
Trials have shown that this new generation phytase offers superior value compared to traditional phytases, as it is at least 20% more effective in improving the digestibility of phosphorus and other nutrients contained in cereal grains, oil seed meals and their by-products.
“Phyzyme XP also reduces phosphorus excretion by more than 30%. This environmental benefit is particularly important during a time when concerns about pollution control are increasingly high on the agenda.”
The launch of Phyzyme XP in the EU is complemented by a new service from Danisco Animal Nutrition. As a phytase optimisation tool, Phycheck brings opportunities to fully exploit the potential feed cost savings from using Phyzyme XP, without compromising animal performance.
The service employs a unique software model, built on extensive trials, which calculates specific matrix values for phosphorus, calcium, amino acids and energy by taking into account, for the first time, phytase dose rates, dietary phytate level and animal age.
Danisco Animal Nutrition, a division of the leading global food ingredient specialist Danisco A/S (Denmark), pioneered the development and use of enzymes and betaine in animal nutrition. Its products are now widely used by poultry and pig producers throughout the world.
The company’s mission is to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions that increase the efficiency and safety of the food production chain in an environmentally responsible way.
