of phytase (Quantum Blue). A second diet was formulated to contain 1500 FTU/kg of phytase as well as a stimbiotic product (xylanase (9600 BXU/kg) combined with fermentable xylo-oligosaccharides (Signis)). For this diet (MMN) the calculated nutrient release of the combined package was slightly higher than the normally recommended levels to ensure the outcome would be valid even considering safety margins. As can be seen in Table 1 the MMN diet was substantially lower in monocalcium phosphate, soybean meal and fat (soy oil) due to the implementation of the combined matrix values. There was also a substantial cost reduction, although of course the actual cost reduction will very much depend on market conditions. The results, shown in Figure 1, show that performance for the two groups was very similar, with no differences in weight gain, feed

intake or feed conversion. But calculation of the CO2 e showed a clear
difference in favour of the MMN group. There was a 3.6% reduction in CO2
e which was statistically significant. Another way to look at efficiency is to calculate the amount of
phosphorus (P) or protein (as indicated by lysine) is needed to produce each broiler. This data (shown in Figure 2) clearly shows a substantial reduction (12% less P and 3 % less lysine) in the resources needed to produce broiler chicken.

The data shows that if feed additives such as enzymes are used
whilst taking nutrient release values into account it is possible to achieve significant reductions in CO2
cost and maintaining animal performance. FEED COMPOUNDER MARCH/APRIL 2020 PAGE 39 e figures at the same time as lower feed
