Poultry diets with balanced, but lower levels of calcium and phosphorus may make the most efficient use of phytase and provide a lower-cost feed, says a researcher.
Phosphea, a subsidiary of Groupe Roullier, will reportedly take over the commercial sales and related feed phosphate business activities of Serbia’s Elixir Group from 1 July.
The inorganic feed phosphate (IFP) market is suffering due to multiple factors including over-capacity, low feed demand, the rise of substitute products, and growing environmental concerns, according to UK based market analysts, CRU.
Bacteria-derived phytases can be used to improve feed intake, weight gain in broilers and replace some levels of inorganic phosphorus, say researchers.
The use of phosphorus in fertilizers and in animal diets could be reduced by fine-tuning fertilization and feeding to actual nutrient requirements, say the authors of a new report calling for stewardship to tackle global phosphorus inefficiency.
Phytases added to feed for broilers formulated with the optimal calcium and phosphorus ratio can improve the environmental profile of the broiler sector, finds a new study.
Global capacity in the inorganic feed phosphates (IFP) market is set to jump nearly 3.5 million tons in the next three years with the biggest demand coming from East Asia, said an analyst.
