# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/302 of 15 February 2017 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the intensive rearing of poultry or pigs (notified under document C(2017) 688) (Text with EEA relevance), Division 4.10.2: Techniques for reducing phosphorus excreted

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

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.
