` Safety and efficacy of Phyzyme XP 10000 (TPT/L), 6-phytase, as feed additive for chickens for fattening, laying hens, ducks for fattening, turkeys for fattening, piglets (weaned), pigs for fattening and sows Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed

Following a request from the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of Phyzyme XP 10000 TPT/L (6-phytase; EC 3.1.3.26) as feed additive for chickens for fattening, laying hens, ducks for fattening, turkeys for fattening, piglets (weaned), pigs for fattening and sows. The product is a reformulation of an existing product (Phyzyme XP 5000) approved for all of the above species and containing double the concentration of phytase. It is intended to provide the same feed concentrations of phytase as the previous product by a lower rate of incorporation. The FEEDAP Panel considers that the conclusions on safety and efficacy for Phyzyme XP 5000 apply fully to the new formulation given that the proposed doses are unchanged. The FEEDAP Panel therefore concludes that Phyzyme XP 10000 is effective in the target species at the phytase levels currently approved and is safe for the target species, consumer, user and the environment.
