Do not underestimate the value of inorganic phosphate!

A reduction of phosphorus (P) levels in feed increases the importance of having sure and sufficiently high digestibility coefficients of P. Phytase is, therefore, generally used in feed. However, high digestible mineral P sources are still important for the delivery of sufficient levels of digestible P to the animal.
Precaecal phosphorus digestibility of inorganic phosphate sources in male broilers
- Details
The aim of this study, comprising two experiments, was 1) to determine in Experiment 1 the relationship of incremental dietary P content on precaecal digestible P in male broilers and 2) to determine in Experiment 2 the precaecal P digestibility of various inorganic P sources at marginal levels of P supply.
New labelling requirements for DCP and TCP - name shall be supplemented by ‘from bones’ where appropriate
- Details
The Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1017 of 15 June 2017 amending Regulation (EU) No 68/2013 on the Catalogue of feed materials requires for both DCP and TCP, number 11.3.1, 11.3.4 resp. in the catalogue, that the name is supplemented with “from bones” if the DCP / TCP is made from bones instead of mineral rock. These new requirements enters into force as of 11 July.
