Functional group: digestibility enhancers. 4a50 Fertinagro Biotech S.L. 3-phytase (EC 3.1.3.8) Additive composition Preparation of 3-phytase produced with Komagataella phaffii CECT 13171 having a minimum activity of: Solid form: 10 000 FTU ( 1 ) /g Liquid form: 1 000 FTU/mL. Characterisation of the active substance 3-phytase produced with Komagataella phaffii CECT 13171. Analytical method ( 2 ) For the quantification of 3-phytase activity in the feed additive, premixtures and compound feed: — colorimetric method based on the enzymatic reaction of phytase on the phytate – EN ISO 30024. Poultry species for fattening or reared for laying or for breeding Minor poultry species for breeding Pigs for fattening of all Suidae species — 500 FTU — 1. In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated. 2. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address the potential risks resulting from their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal breathing and skin protective equipment. 5 August 2035 Laying hens 1 000 FTU ( 1 ) 1 FTU is the amount of enzyme that releases 1 μmol of inorganic phosphate from sodium phytate per minute at 37 °C and pH 5,5.
