Axtra® PHY GOLD L is a fast-acting feed enzyme designed to minimize the anti-nutritional effects of phytate throughout the digestive tract and improve nutrient utilization. Liquid Axtra® PHY GOLD L is approved for broilers, laying hens, turkeys, ducks, and all other poultry species, as well as piglets, finishers, and sows. Axtra® PHY GOLD L is proven to improve performance, reduce phosphorus waste, and increase profitability.
Our effective range of feed additives and dietary feed supplements are specifically selected and developed to support animal health and productivity. Their modes of action add value and benefit.
Some nutrients in feed are unavailable for use by the animal. Enzymes work by releasing these valuable nutrients and improving the nutritional value of feed, especially those from plant sources.
Feed raw materials often contain antinutritive substances. Eliminating antinutrients increase the effectiveness of the animal´s own digestive enzymes.
Axtra® PHY GOLD L is a phytase feed enzyme specifically designed to increase the digestibility of phytin-bound phosphorus, calcium, energy, and amino acids in animal diets. Axtra® PHY GOLD L is a consensus bacterial phytase variant expressed in Trichoderma reesei and is superior to other phytases in terms of speed and performance.
Phytate, also known as phytic acid, is the main mechanism of phosphorus storage in plants. Phosphorus is an essential mineral. However, when bound to phytate, it is unavailable to monogastric animals, which lack the digestive enzyme, phytase. Fast-acting Axtra® PHY GOLD L works quickly to release phosphorus from phytate.
The rapid action of Axtra® PHY GOLD L in the digestive tract is an important feature. Phytate is both a potential source of phosphorus and an anti-nutrient because of its ability to bind to essential nutrients. Phytate binds to proteins and amino acids at the low pH found in the upper digestive tract. However, at a higher pH in the lower intestine, phytate can bind to calcium and other trace minerals.
Axtra® PHY GOLD L has an exceptionally high relative activity at low pH compared with other phytases. In addition, because of its enhanced resistance to pepsin, it acts quickly in the upper digestive tract to both release phosphorus and overcome the anti-nutrient effects of phytate. The net result is improved animal performance. Axtra® PHY GOLD L comes in several concentrations to fit your exact needs.
Axtra® PHY GOLD L is a liquid designed for application after pelleting. Axtra® PHY GOLD L—the best just got better!
