| abstract |
The object of the present invention is to provide a phosphatase-containing granulate suitable for use in animal feed comprising the steps of: a) forming a phosphatase mixture and a solid carrier comprising at least 30% by weight starch and water, b) mechanically processing the above mixture to obtain enzyme-containing granules with a content of 30 to 40% by weight; c) drying the granules, wherein the granules are substantially free of starch degrading enzyme, in particular amylases, and wherein the granules are substantially free of soap or detergent. The solution also relates to a granulate comprising dried granules formed from a phosphatase and a solid carrier, a composition comprising said granulate, a method for promoting animal growth using said granulate or said composition, and using said granulate in animal feed. |
