AveMix® P5000 is a naturally stable and highly effective 6-phytase. It breaks down indigestible phytate (phytic acid) to dietary phosphorus. As phytate is present in all vegetable raw materials, AveMix® P5000 is beneficial for all feedstuffs.

By adding AveMix® P5000, the amount of inorganic phosphorus in the feed can be reduced. This decreases feed costs, whilst also resulting in lower phosphorous emissions in manure.

Within plant cells, phytate is bound to cations (such as calcium, magnesium, sodium) and amino acids. By degrading the phytate, as well as releasing digestible phosphorus, AveMix® P5000 also makes calcium and other nutrients more available.

AveMix® P5000 remains stable at high temperatures (up to 90°C) due to its specific molecular coating. AveMix® P5000 is also active over a broad pH-range. This means it acts in the small intestine as well as in the stomach where the phytate is mainly accessible.

AveMix® P5000 is also available in higher concentrations, making the product easy to adapt to every species and dietary condition.
