DSM-Firmenich, a renowned innovator in nutrition, health, and beauty, has announced the renewal of European Union authorization for 25OHD3 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 146008 in poultry and pigs.
Additionally, an extension for its use in ruminants has been granted, based on the comprehensive Hy-D® scientific dossier submitted to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). 25OHD3, known as Hy-D®, is recognized as the principal circulating form of vitamin D3 in both humans and animals, with sufficient levels linked to enhanced animal health and performance.
Ruminants stand to gain significant benefits from this latest EU authorization. Hy-D® facilitates optimal animal lifetime performance, promoting more sustainable farming practices. It aids in the absorption of intestinal calcium and phosphorus (Ca/P), crucial for preventing complications during the transition period. Moreover, Hy-D® improves Ca/P metabolism, resulting in increased retention throughout lactation, ensuring stronger females for subsequent calving and bolstering milk yield. Additionally, it enhances immune capacity, reducing the risk of infectious diseases and metabolic disorders, thereby minimizing the need for medications and enhancing the resilience of ruminants.
In the swine and poultry sectors, Hy-D® offers notable advantages, including improved bone strength, enhanced health, increased meat and egg yield, and overall quality enhancement. Proper utilization of Hy-D® can positively impact animal welfare and productivity.
Emrah Mazi, Head of Product Management Special Nutrients at DSM-Firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health, expressed excitement about gaining EU authorization for Hy-D® in ruminants and renewal for its use in poultry and pigs. Mazi highlighted the milestone's global significance and potential, anticipating a positive impact on animal well-being, productivity, and sustainability.
EU feed additives, such as 25OHD3 (Hy-D®), undergo rigorous review every 10 years by EU authorities to ensure safety and efficacy in the feed and food chain. DSM-Firmenich has consistently generated and updated scientific data to support the renewal of 25OHD3 registration in animal nutrition for poultry, swine, and ruminants, contributing to more efficient and sustainable farming practices. Notably, this renewal for poultry and pigs and the authorization for ruminants specifically apply to 25OHD3 produced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 146008, highlighting the product's unique efficacy.
