Danisco Animal Nutrition Predicts Shift Towards More Profitable Phytase Dosing

Danisco Animal Nutrition argues that the industry standard phytase dose of 500 FTU/kg, which was agreed over 22 years ago, needs to be reviewed following the launch of new, more bio-efficacious phytases that deliver improved nutrient uptake and maximum phytate destruction at more flexible levels. The company is of the opinion that a lot has been said about phytase super-dosing and that if advanced phytase technology is backed up with well researched, species specific matrix values, the customer will arrive at the right dose to deliver maximum profitability.
