Properties

Our phytase enzyme helps you cut feed costs and improve efficiency by releasing the phosphorus locked inside plant ingredients, reducing your dependence on expensive inorganic phosphate while maintaining and even improving animal performance. By breaking down phytate, it also frees up calcium, amino acids, and energy that would otherwise be wasted, giving you greater formulation flexibility, better feed conversion, and more consistent results across varying raw materials.

The outcome is simple: lower cost per ton, stronger performance, and reduced phosphorus excretion to support sustainability goals and regulatory compliance — all from one high-impact addition to your feed program.

Reaction

Phytate → Inorganic Phosphate CAS Number: 37288-11-2

Storage

12 months * Where 1 U is the amount of enzyme required to release 1 µmol of inorganic phosphate per min under standard conditions
