  • (1888PressRelease) June 10, 2011 - With the introduction of Natuphos® 5000 Combi G, BASF is now the first to bring an animal feed enzyme combination in granulate form to the world market. The new product is a combination of the two BASF feed additives Natuphos® and Natugrain® TS. Based on its many years of experience in enzyme formulation BASF has succeeded in unifying the enzymes 3-phytase, beta-xylanase and beta-glucanase in a stable formulation suited particularly well for premixes and pelleting. Like other enzyme products from BASF the new enzyme granulate is distinguished by its long shelf life. Natuphos 5000 Combi G is used primarily as an additive for pig and poultry feeds.

    Customers benefit in particular from the simplified handling and dosing of the new enzyme combination, as compared to the previous separate use of Natuphos and Natugrain TS. In addition to cutting storage space and container requirements the new product makes a significant contribution to reducing complexity for the customer and also helps protect the environment, since less packaging material and transport space are needed.

    Natuphos 5000 Combi G follows the concept of "Less input - less environmental impact". The enzymes in Natuphos 5000 Combi G counteract the anti-nutritive characteristics of several feed plant components, increasing both the digestibility and energy value of the feed and letting pigs and poultry better utilize the energy and nutrients it contains. Meat can now be produced for a growing world population in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner, with less feed and reduced excretion of environmentally harmful substances (such as phosphate and ammonia), and thus with a smaller environmental footprint.

    BASF supports its customers in the animal feed industry with the production of high-efficiency animal nutrition and constantly develops new product formulations to meet the current and future needs of the animal feed industry.
