Buyer intent coverage
Phytase (feed enzyme) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Phytase releases phosphorus bound in plant phytate and is the single most widely used feed enzyme, bought primarily by Southwestern Ontario and Quebec broiler, turkey and swine mills and by the Prairie premix houses that serve them. Commercially it is inseparable from the inorganic phosphate decision: the matrix credit a mill applies determines how much MCP or MDCP it still needs. Activity units, thermostability and the credit basis are the specification; the matrix values themselves come from the supplier's own dossier.
Primary uses
- Releasing phytate-bound phosphorus in poultry and swine diets
- Reducing inorganic phosphate inclusion through a matrix credit
- Lowering phosphorus excretion in intensive production areas
Applications
- Broiler, turkey, layer and swine complete feeds
- Premix and concentrate manufacture
- Post-pellet liquid application systems
Advantages
- Directly offsets inorganic phosphate cost through the nutrient matrix
- Available in coated grades intended for pelleted feed
- Liquid grades allow post-pellet application where heat is a concern
Limitations to consider
- Activity units are not standardised across suppliers, so nominal figures cannot be compared directly
- Activity is lost progressively during conditioning and pelleting
- Matrix credits are supplier-specific and require the supplier's own documentation
How to choose the right grade
- State pelleting temperature and retention time before comparing offers
- Compare on activity delivered in the finished feed, not on nominal units per gram
- Confirm whether coated dry or post-pellet liquid suits the mill
- Buyers searching for an alternative or second-source supplier should state the incumbent specification they are matching, because a like-for-like comparison depends on declared content, physical form and documentation rather than on the material name alone.
Typical grades
- Coated thermostable granulate
- Uncoated powder for mash feeds
- Liquid for post-pellet application
Comparable materials — how Phytase (feed enzyme) sits against alternatives
- Higher inorganic phosphate inclusion without an enzyme credit
- An alternative phytase chemistry with a different thermostability profile
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Phytase (feed enzyme)
Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.
How buyers specify at RFQ
- Declared activity units per gram and the assay method used to measure them
- Thermostability rating and the pelleting or conditioning window it covers
- Presentation — coated granulate, uncoated powder or liquid for post-pellet application
- Carrier identity, particle size and dust level for premix blending
- Recovery data after conditioning and after the intended storage period
- Matrix credit basis the mill intends to apply
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- 25 kg bag or fibre drum — the usual micro-ingredient format
- Foil-lined or moisture-barrier packaging for hygroscopic and oxidation-sensitive actives
- Carton or pail for very low-inclusion actives handled by hand
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store cool, dry and sealed; potency loss accelerates with heat and humidity
- Keep original moisture-barrier packaging closed until the blend is made
- Use first-in, first-out rotation and respect the declared retest or shelf-life date
- Keep away from heat sources and steam lines; activity loss is cumulative and irreversible
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) stating the declared activity or potency and the assay method
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) with the batch activity or potency result
- Stability and overage guidance for the intended pelleting or blending process
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of phytase in feed+
Phytase hydrolyses phytate, releasing phosphorus that monogastric animals otherwise excrete and freeing the minerals and amino acids that phytate binds. Applying it correctly means taking a matrix credit for phosphorus and calcium, not simply adding an enzyme on top of the existing formulation.
Specifying the grade+
Activity is declared in supplier-specific units that are not interchangeable between products, and thermostability decides whether a granulated enzyme survives conditioning or whether post-pellet liquid application is required. State your pelleting temperature, dosing equipment and the matrix credit you intend to take.
Documentation and specification+
Feed grade material is quoted against the specification your mill or premix formulation requires. Allzone confirms grade, declared content, physical form and any carrier or coating with the supplier before quoting, and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered.
Frequently asked questions
Will granulated phytase survive pelleting?+
That depends on the coating and your conditioning temperature; where it will not, post-pellet liquid application is the alternative and is quoted separately.
Is this quoted as feed grade material?+
Yes. Feed grade is quoted as a separate specification from food or technical grade, with its own documentation for the exact material offered.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can you deliver to feed mills across Canada?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
