Canadian Food Inspection Agency approves use of Danisco feed additive

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has approved the use of Danisco's "Phyzyme XP 5000G" and "Phyzyme XP 5000 L" in pig and poultry feeds.

Phyzyme XP is a feed additive that helps improve animal digestibility of phosphorus and other nutrients contained in cereal grains, oil seed meals and their by-products. It also minimised the need to add dicalcium phosphate to the feed, which allowed pig and poultry producers to lower feed costs. In addition, it cut down phosphorus excretion by more than 30 percent, which benefited the environment.
