DuPont Industrial Biosciences extends production of phytase enzymes in Europe

| By Mary Bailey

DuPont Industrial Biosciences (www.biosciences.dupont.com) has launched extended product lines for Axtra PHY 20000 TPT and Axtra PHY 25000 G fast-acting phytase enzymes in Europe.

“We are excited to extend the product line of our award-winning phytase in the EU. Axtra PHY has been helping animal producers throughout the world lower their production costs and reduce their environmental footprint. This launch gives European animal producers the convenience they need in today’s competitive environment, while also reducing their environmental footprint,” said Aart Mateboer, global industry leader for DuPont Danisco Animal Nutrition.

Axtra PHY is said to be the fastest-acting and most efficacious phytase available on the market today. DuPont’s phytase begins acting earlier in the digestive tract, rapidly destroying phytate and its anti-nutrient effects, enabling more complete nutrient uptake in the animal. By lowering the impact of phytate, Axtra PHY enables the release and digestion of the beneficial nutrients naturally present in the feed, meaning the animal producer can significantly lower their feed cost.
