NEWS 12 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2023 Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health, a business unit of IFF, announced that its industry-leading phytase enzyme, Axtra® PHY GOLD, has been authorized for in-feed use in the EU. “We are delighted that Axtra® PHY GOLD has been formally certified as safe and effective for use in swine and poultry diets in this key market,” said Hamish Irving, global marketing director for Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health. “It means we can now respond to the needs of producers in the EU with a proven feed solution that not only supports their commercial goals but is at the forefront of more sustainable animal production.” Axtra® PHY GOLD is a highly bioefficacious phytase. It works faster than any other competitor’s phytase to break down phytate present in grains and other commonly used ingredients which would otherwise interfere with digestion and animal performance. This advanced mode of action improves the release and subsequent uptake of phosphorus, calcium, energy, and amino acids, reducing the antinutritional effects of phytate and delivering greater feed cost savings. As the industry moves away from the traditional use of inorganic phosphates (IP), due to concerns about environmental impact and fluctuations in price and availability, producers need effective solutions that will not compromise performance or compromise animal welfare. Axtra® PHY GOLD has been shown to play a vital role in this shift towards more sustainable nutritional strategies by making the total replacement of inorganic phosphates a viable possibility. “At Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health, we are committed to innovating to develop better solutions for animal producers,” said Irving. “Axtra® PHY GOLD is a testament to this commitment and reinforces our leadership in phytase enzymes, bringing a modern, more advanced offering to the global animal nutrition industry.” Read more>> IFF introduces industry-leading phytase enzyme in the EU The vital role played by probiotics in maintaining an optimum poultry microbiome balance and the beneficial impact of the patented GO Technology® powered probiotic, Microsaf®, on the successful development of sustainable poultry production were two of the highlights presented to around 100 poultry professionals during a satellite symposium at the 23rd European Symposium on Poultry Nutrition (ESPN) in Italy.
