- Meri-Phyze 5000 contains phytase, an enzyme capable of breaking down indigestible phytate (phytic acid) in grains and oilseeds and making it available for absorption and utilisation by monogastric animals.
Most of the phosphorus (P) consumed by animals is excreted in the manure. This is a waste of resource because up to 80% of the total phosphorus in grains and oilseeds is in an organically-bound form known as phytate or phytic acid. This form of phosphorus is indigestible to monogastric animals, as they have virtually no intestinal phytase activity of their own.
This low availability of phytate phosphorus poses two problems for producers:
• The need to add inorganic phosphorus supplements to diets
• The excretion of large amounts of phosphorus in manure
The benefits of Meri-Phyze are:
• Improved utilisation of phosphate in the feed
• Higher profitability
• Improved digestibility
• Reduced anti-nutritional factors
• Reduced output of phosphorus to the environment
Meri-Phyze 5000 is your answer for maximum feed utilisation!
