Danisco Animal Nutrition, a business division of DuPont
Industrial Biosciences, will continue its tradition of launching industry
”firsts” that improve customer profitability by introducing its latest advanced
phytase, and new value-add services at AveSui 2014.
Axtra® PHY, a unique and
patented Buttiauxellaphytase, which according to Danisco "offers unprecedented digestibility and
phytate destruction benefits over bacterial equivalents due to its
exceptionally high and rapid activity in an animal’s upper digestive tract." In terms of benefits, this higher bio-efficacy equates to:
- Superior cost savings of an additional ~$1.08 per metric tonne of pig feed through availability of ~20% more phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) earlier in the digestive process. For poultry, the potential savings are even higher; an additional $~1.23 per metric tonne of feed. Axtra® PHY also reduces the need for costly inorganic phosphorous supplementation and balances calcium levels to support skeletal and metabolic functions.
- Availability of ~10% additional digestible energy (and costly amino acids) to the pig through superior phytate degradation in the upper gut. For poultry, the percentage is ~30%, equating to an additional $1.36 per tonne of feed.
The
following value-add services will also be launched at the show:
- The online Optimize Feed™ Service, an easy-to-use tool that enables customers to maximize profitability from use of the company’s bio-efficacious phytase products - Axtra® PHY and Phyzyme® XP - and its Betafin® natural betaine. It uses accurate and well-researched matrix values based on animal species, diet variation, substrate levels and the age of the animal to help customers determine the right dose of phytase to maximize uptake of phosphorous and betaine to allow accurate and safe replacement of costly methionine and choline
- A semi-quantitative Axtra® PHY FASTkit™ assay which quickly detects the presence of active Axtra® PHY phytase in the feed.

In addition, Dr Roselina Angel, Associate Professor at the University of
Maryland, will present evidence that Axtra® PHY offers a superior solution to
the challenges caused by calcium/available phosphorus imbalance (such as
skeletal and metabolic disorders) during the poultry seminar master talk at the
show.
Luciana Franco, Technical Sales Manager at Danisco Animal Nutrition’s
Brazilian office, commented, ”As the most advanced phytase technology on the
market, Axtra® PHY can deliver superior profitability through maximum phytate
destruction and nutrient digestibility. Nutritionists can also be sure
that they are using the right phytase dose to get the best results thanks to
the new Optimize Feed™ Service which is based on species specific,
evidence-based matrix values.”
Axtra® PHY is available in liquid and dry product forms. If a dry
product form is preferred, maximum performance and ease of use is ensured
through its Thermo Protection Technology (TPT) granule, ensuring heat stability
up to 203°F (95°C).
