Division 4.10.2 Techniques for reducing phosphorus excreted
United Kingdom
| Technique | Description |
|---|---|
| Multiphase feeding with a diet formulation adapted to the specific requirements of the production period. | The feed consists of a mix matching the phosphorus supply to the phosphorus animal requirements more accurately depending on the animal weight and/or production stage. |
| Use of authorised feed additives which reduce total phosphorus excreted (e.g. phytase). | Authorised (according to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003) substances, microorganisms or preparations such as enzymes (e.g. phytase) are added to feed or water in order to favourably affect feed efficiency e.g. by improving the digestibility of phytic phosphorus in the feedstuffs or affecting the gastrointestinal flora. |
