The EU Commission has granted Danisco Animal Nutrition authorisation for the use of Avizyme 1505 for corn-based broiler, turkey and duck feed.

Avizyme 1505 is a heat stable and more concentrated combination of xylanase, amylase and protease enzyme combination. This product maintains efficacy after exposure to feed conditioning and pelleting temperatures of up to 90°C.

For ease of addition into vitamin and mineral premixes, Avizyme 1505 is available in a concentrated form. Dilute versions of Avizyme 1505 are also available for accurate inclusion directly into feed.

Niels Otto Damholt, Danisco's European Regional Director said, ''Managing feed costs continues to be one of the main focus areas for our customers. The unique combination of xylanase, amylase and protease in Avizyme 1505 helps poultry producers maximise value from corn-based feed. For example, broiler producers feeding corn diets containing wheat and by-products can currently reduce feed costs by around 7% with Avizyme 1505.''
