and poultry diets worldwide to improve
the digestion of phytate-bound minerals
and nutrients and to reduce feed costs.
The development of Natuphos® as the
first feed phytase was prompted by
environmental problems in regions
with high concentrations of livestock.
A large number of laboratory and
practical experiments have demonstrated that Natuphos® can help to
solve these problems.
Furthermore, for more than ten years
now, Natuphos® has proven its outstanding advantages with greater profitability in animal nutrition. Our efficient
phytase is added to a variety of pig
Natuphos® forms a part of our
extensive BASF product portfolio for

THE KEY TO PHOSPHORUS
4
A mineral essential for life
Pigs and poultry require certain amounts
of phosphorus for various biological
functions. This macro-mineral is a crucial
factor in bone formation and mineralization. Furthermore, it is involved in numerous other metabolic processes such as
energy transfer and protein synthesis,
and in the composition of nucleic acids.
Consequently, phosphorus deficiency
not only leads to poor bone mineralization, but also impairs important production parameters such as growth rate
or carcass leanness. An adequate supply
of phosphorus through the feed is essential to maintain health and performance.
Sources of phosphorus
Your feed ingredients supply various
amounts of phosphorus that is available for metabolic processes.
Feedstuffs of plant and animal origin
and inorganic sources vary widely in
phosphorus digestibility. In cereals and
oilseeds, up to 90 % of total phosphorus can be locked up in phytate, the
phosphorus reservoir for seedlings,
which is almost indigestible to monogastric animals.
Natuphos® makes bound
phosphorus digestible
The use of Natuphos® offers
you an economical and ecological benefit. Natuphos® is our
3-phytase produced by non-pathogenic
strains of Aspergillus niger in large-scale
fermentation processes. Its addition to
feed complements the limited spectrum
of endogenous enzymes in pigs and
poultry, enabling the animals to break
down phytate.
Inorganic phosphorus sources are
usually added to the diet to ensure
that the animal’s requirements are met.
This phosphorus supplementation
results in additional feed costs while
considerable amounts of unutilized
phosphorus from vegetable feed
components are excreted, posing
environmental problems.
Dietary phosphorus and other nutrients
locked up in phytate are efficiently
released by Natuphos®. They can easily
be absorbed and utilized for metabolic
processes instead of being lost in the
manure.
5
Combating anti-nutritive effects
Additionally, Natuphos® almost completely eliminates the well-known antinutritive effects of phytate. In an experiment with 120 weaner pigs, an
increase in the phytate content in the
feed from 0.12 %
to 0.33 % (with
constant total phosphorus content) reduced
growth performance of the
piglets by approximately 16 %.
The addition of Natuphos® to
the diet compensated for this
negative effect (Fig. 1).

The drawback of
phosphorus
The concentration of
intensive livestock production in certain areas
is a common feature in many countries throughout the world. In these
areas, pig and poultry producers are
increasingly affected by regulations
regarding manure disposal to limit the
overloading of soil with excessive
amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen.
Accordingly, the feed industry has
developed feed concepts for efficient
nutrient management on farms in regions of high livestock density. Their
aim is to improve the farm phosphorus
balance by adjusting the feed phosphorus content to be closer to the
animal’s requirements thus minimizing
the amount of excreted phosphorus.
Reducing the
environmental impact
In this context, many feed producers
already regard Natuphos® as a key to
more sustainable animal nutrition.
Natuphos® improves the digestibility of
phosphorus, enabling you to reduce
feed supplementation with inorganic
phosphorus and total phosphorus
content of the diet. A higher proportion
of your feed phosphorus is utilized by
the animal instead of being lost in the
manure. Phosphorus excretion can be
reduced by more than 30 % (Fig. 2).

Thus pig and poultry feeds with
Natuphos® are better for the environment and offer economic advantages
to the farmer: Natuphos® lowers the
amount of land required for manure
disposal, and disposal costs are
reduced when manure application is
limited by phosphorus content.

Beneficial effects for the
environment and the animal
Gastric acid acts as a natural barrier
against pathogens and activates
several enzymes important for the
digestion of protein. However, young
animals produce only limited amounts
of gastric acid during their first weeks
of life. Buffering substances, such as
inorganic phosphorus and calcium
sources, rapidly neutralize the acid.
Natuphos® offers nutritive advantages
for solving this problem, particularly in
feeding weaning piglets. By reducing
The optimized use of Natuphos® in
your feed formulation reliably prevents
phosphorus deficiency even when low
phosphorus diets are fed. The animal’s
performance is maintained at a high
level (Fig. 3).

of gastric acid produced by the young
animal can be fully active and fulfil its
important functions.

Natuphos®
breaks the phytate lock
The anti-nutritive effect of phytate is
not restricted to the loss of phosphorus.
Due to its high binding potential, phytate can also form complexes with
other minerals and nutrients, thus decreasing their digestibility. It can affect
calcium, magnesium, and several trace
elements, as well as proteins and
amino acids.
The release of phosphorus by
Natuphos® causes phytate-bound
minerals or nutrients to lose their binding site on the phytate. As free molecules, they are easily absorbed and
utilized by the animal instead of being
lost with the manure.
The effect of Natuphos® on nutrient
digestibility and on metabolizable
energy content reduces the need for
costly supplementation of these nutrients. The cost of your feed formulations
can thus be lowered considerably.

A PHYTASE YOU CAN COUNT ON
10
Quantified effects
The efficient releasing effect of
Natuphos® on phytate-bound minerals
and amino acids, and its influence on
the energetic value of the feed have
been verified and quantified in numerous feeding trials based on widely
differing diets. All experimental results
from pigs and poultry were entered
into a comprehensive database,
enabling us to deduce Natuphos®
matrix values.
Using these nutrient equivalencies,
Natuphos® can be offered as an
ingredient in the least-cost formulation
of pig and poultry diets. You can thus
take advantage of the enzymatic
release of nutrients and achieve the
best possible economic results.
Natuphos® in least-cost formulation
The matrix values (Fig. 7) represent the
extent to which minerals and nutrients
are released from the feed by
Natuphos®. You can enter them into
your feed optimization program in the
same way you enter the analyzed
nutrient contents of other feed compounds.
The maximum recommended dosages
of Natuphos® are 300 – 400 FTU/kg for
layers and 500 FTU/kg for broilers,
turkeys, ducks, geese, and pigs. The
matrix values are applicable for rations
based on corn, wheat, barley, sorghum,
soybean meal, other vegetable protein
sources, and various by-products.
There is no question that the matrix
values are only valid for Natuphos®,
which was the object of testing in the
underlying experiments. The equivalencies cannot be applied to other
phytases due to distinctive differences
in product characteristics.

Maintaining performance
at lower costs
Natuphos® releases considerable
amounts of minerals, amino acids,
and energy. The enzymatic release of
nutrients from vegetable feedstuffs
reduces the need for dietary supplementation with inorganic mineral components or amino acids sources while
maintaining a high level of performance
and carcass quality. Our sample calculations in figure 8 show that the effect
of Natuphos® is not only beneficial for
the environment but also increases
your profit.
Natuphos® saves feed costs
The least-cost formulations of feed for
pigs and poultry are from different
regions of the world (Fig. 8). They
were calculated using the Natuphos®
matrix values given in figure 7 and are
based on current market prices of raw
materials (03/2004).
Our examples show that Natuphos®
can reduce feed costs considerably. In
the U.S., Natuphos® has saved up to
US$ 5.80 in broiler feeds and US$ 4.60
in turkey feeds based on corn and
soybean meal. In Asia, the use of
Natuphos® in layer feeds resulted in
savings of US$ 3.75. In Europe,
Natuphos® has saved up to 1.67 EUR
in wheat based pig feeds.
Of course, the savings realized may
differ from the figures stated in figure 8,
depending on the specific situation of
your feed production.
SUPERIOR BIO-EFFICACY
14
A good choice
The manufacturing of profitable quality
feeds requires careful consideration in
selecting the most efficient additives. In
this context, both bio-efficacy and the
price per kilogram or per enzyme unit
constitute a deciding factor in determining if a phytase product is of value.
Compared to competitors’ products,
Natuphos® produces a maximum
release of digestible phosphorus from
vegetable feedstuffs per phytase unit,
or put another way, maximum conservation of inorganic mineral sources and
a reduction in feed costs.

Adverse
effects of NSPs
In cereal-based diets for poultry, in
addition to phytate, indigestible nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) are
responsible for negative effects on
performance. They trap valuable
nutrients in the cells of vegetable
feedstuffs. Additionally, their soluble
portion increases the viscosity of the
digesta in the intestine.

Targeted solutions
Natugrain® products effectively eliminate the anti-nutritive effects of NSPs
leading to higher nutrient digestibility
and improved performance in broilers,
and turkeys. By supplementing feed
with Natugrain®, you can level out
variations in the nutritive value between
different kinds of cereals. This provides
higher flexibility in the optimization of
your poultry feed and ensures highly
consistent performance.

THE DYNAMIC DUO
17
Two ways to achieve one goal
The combination of Natuphos® and
Natugrain® in poultry diets blends the
benefits of the two products: each
enzyme is aimed at liberating nutrients
in its own way. Natuphos® efficiently
releases phosphorus, other minerals,
and amino acids from phytate, while
Natugrain® degrades anti-nutritive nonstarch polysaccharides. Thus, nutrient
utilization can be optimized for maximum performance in broilers, layers,
and turkeys.
A practicable combination
Because the formulations are mutually
compatible, there are no constraints if
you combine the application of
Natuphos® and Natugrain® products in
your feeds. We have developed a new
formulation designed for liquid application, which clearly simplifies the use of
two enzymes in one feed: Natuphos®
Combi L. This liquid product offers the
benefits of the original phytase
Natuphos® together with Natugrain®
xylanase in one single formulation.
Easy enzyme application
Natuphos® Combi L requires only one
liquid dosing unit to apply two effective
enzymes to the feed. Costs for transport, storage, and internal handling are
reduced.
This versatile product is easy to handle
and can be used for all kinds of cerealbased poultry feeds. Natuphos®
Combi L is approved for broilers and
turkeys.

A varied range to serve your needs
Beginning with the first spray-dried
product, Natuphos® 5000, research
has been directed at the continued
improvement of the phytase formulation. Today, Natuphos® is available in
powder and granulated forms as well
as in liquid form with different phytase
concentrations to meet your individual
requirements for the manufacture of
quality feeds under different production
conditions.
Liquid application
Post-pelleting liquid application (PPLA)
systems for feed additives point the
way to the future of compound feed
manufacturing. They help to avoid
hydrothermal stress on heat sensitive
substances, markedly reducing losses
of biologically-active ingredients.
The use of liquid Natuphos® and
Natugrain® formulations is a viable
alternative when higher pelleting temperatures are inevitable due to pellet
quality, sanitary reasons, or capacity.
