dsm-firmenich has been given approval in the EU for HiPhorius for all poultry species.
The phytase is being marketed to help farmers achieve more sustainable and profitable animal protein production through more efficient phosphorous utilisation and faster more efficient removal of the potent antinutrient phytate.
Sergio Schuler, vice president in Europe, Middle East and Africa for animal nutrition & health at dsm-firmenich said: “Securing EU authorisation for HiPhorius marks a significant milestone for the feed industry and brings major benefits for producers across Europe.”
Phytases enable animals to more effectively degrade phytate, the natural source of phosphorous in plant-based feed ingredients. This not only reduces the need for costly inorganic phosphorus supplements but also enhances growth rates and feed conversion ratios.
