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.”
