EU extends approval for DSM's Ronozyme P for ducks

Press release

At the last EU Standing Committee meeting of 22nd October 2007, the European Commission has granted DSM Nutritional Products an extension to the approval given to its phytase feed enzyme, RONOZYME P, for ducks.

RONOZYME P (Granulate and liquid) is now approved for salmonids, broiler, layer, turkey, duck, sow, piglet and fattening pigs. The large spectrum of EU authorisations is of major added-value for multi-species feed factories. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), in charge of scientific evaluation had confirmed the efficacy and the safety of the RONOZYME P for ducks in its opinion of 10th July 2007.

RONOZYME P5000 (CT) is the most heat stable phytase granulate product for feed. It is dust free and free flowing to ensure safety and good handling properties. RONOZYME P5000 (CT) is the best in class in respect to particle size which allows very good mixing properties in all premix and feed.

Physical properties coupled with the outstanding and proven thermo-stability characteristics have been maintained which allow it to be used successfully at high feed processing temperatures (90-95¡ãC).

These characteristics that are unique to RONOZYME P5000 (CT) are ensuring consistent delivery of phytase to the animals day after day. For the best economic returns, DSM recommends using RONOZYME P 5000 in diets for ducks at a level of 150 g/ton.

The RONOZYME product ranges of feed enzymes are developed within the alliance of DSM Nutritional Products and the Danish company Novozymes.

DSM Nutritional Products adds value to the food chain through the provision of innovative solutions based on providing maximum safety, quality, traceability and reliability benefiting our customers, the consumer, the environment and animal welfare.
