Quick-Phyt, the easy-to-use tool to check phytase application in feed

Published: November 22, 2011

When supplementing animal feeds with enzymes, checking that the right amount has been added is always the critical question. Incorrect application of phytase can have dramatic consequences on animal performances and thus on economic return. Feed millers have to deal with this risk. Incorrect dosage of phytase can be due to inaccuracies associated with the equipment in the premix or feed mill or can be due to human error. Laboratory analysis of phytase in complete feed takes time and the plant manager cannot stop his production while checking the phytase level.
Adisseo has developed Quick-Phyt, the easy-to-use tool to check phytase application in complete feed at the plant level. Developed at Adisseo's Laboratories in France, this test is reliable, simple and quick.
Quick-Phyt is available for Adisseo customers who are using the NSP enzyme / phytase combination product, Rovabio® Max (energy increase and release of 1.5g available phosphorus per kg of feed)
A complete kit is provided. It is based on a colorimetric reaction, and a few simple steps: extraction with a buffer solution, phosphate trapping, enzymatic reaction and final color reading. The result is given in about 1h30. Blue color means that feed contains phytase at the right inclusion rate (#500FTU/kg).
With this easy-to-use test, feed manufacturers can now do their own check, at the plant level, on the phytase application in their feed when using Rovabio® Max.

It seems great and a quick way to measure activity, but is it exclusively for use with Rovabio® Max enzymes?

yes it is a good tool to measure the enzyme activity. i just have few questions on the efficacy of this test kit, can you please elaborate...1) How will be the accuracy if enzymes are applied through oil after post pelleting? 2) are any other test kits available to measure enzymes, other than phytase? how will be the efficacy of this kit, if any feed manufacturer using complex enzymes?
