EU approves two DSM feed enzymes

The EU has approved two feed enzymes by DSM, namely Roxazyme® G2 for ducks and Ronozyme® VP for piglets.

Roxazyme® G2 marked the first feed enzyme in the EU which could be used for fattening, laying and replacement duck diets.

The enzyme could be used in duck feed rich in non-starch polysaccharides, mainly arabinoxylans and betaglucans. DSM recommended using Roxazyme® G2 for ducks at a level of 100 ppm in feed, to maximise the economic return.

Meanwhile, Ronozyme® VP could be applied to piglet feed rich in non-starch polysaccharides, especially for rapeseed or sunflower meals. DSM recommended using Ronozyme® VP for piglets at a level of 200 ppm.
