New phytase technology unlocks nutrients already present in feed to improve efficiency, profitability and sustainability
IFF (NYSE: IFF) — a global leader in flavors, fragrances and health and biosciences — today announced the launch of Omni-Bos™ PHY, a novel phytase enzyme designed specifically for dairy cattle. The technology helps producers improve nutrient utilization and feed efficiency by unlocking nutrients already present in feed, enabling cows to derive greater value from existing feed ingredients. Omni-Bos™ PHY will initially launch in the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific regions.

IFF has launched Omni-Bos™ PHY, a phytase enzyme developed specifically for dairy cattle, that helps producers unlock nutrients already present in feed to improve nutrient utilization and feed efficiency.
“We believe the future of dairy nutrition is helping cows receive more value from the nutrients in their feed,” said Regina Cortada, vice president, Animal Nutrition & Health for IFF Health & Biosciences. “Our research challenged the long-held assumption that dairy cows fully utilize the phytate contained in feed. We found that phytate breakdown is often incomplete, leaving valuable nutrients unavailable to the animal. Omni-Bos PHY was developed to unlock those nutrients and help producers improve feed efficiency, support sustainability goals and increase profitability.”
Global milk production is projected to grow 2% annually over the coming decade, increasing pressure on producers to improve productivity while managing feed costs and sustainability targets. Feed remains one of the largest expenses in dairy production, making nutrient efficiency a critical opportunity for producers seeking to improve profitability and performance.
Phytate — a naturally occurring compound found in many feed ingredients — can bind nutrients and reduce their availability to the animal. While phytase technology has been widely used in poultry and swine production for decades, its effectiveness in dairy cattle has historically been limited.
“Traditional phytase enzymes were not designed to withstand the unique digestive conditions of dairy cattle,” said Ester Vinyeta, innovation director, Animal Nutrition & Health for IFF Health & Biosciences. “Omni-Bos PHY was specifically developed for ruminants and is designed to remain active where it can unlock nutrients that would otherwise remain inaccessible. This enables dairy producers to extract more nutritional value from existing feed ingredients while reducing nutrient losses.”
By helping cows utilize more of the protein, phosphorus and minerals already present in feed, Omni-Bos™ PHY can reduce reliance on supplemental phosphorus and protected amino acids while supporting the use of alternative protein sources. The result is improved feed efficiency, lower feed costs and reduced nitrogen and phosphorus excretion.
The enzyme is suitable for use in concentrates, premixes and total mixed rations and has been evaluated extensively throughout product development. In one study, Omni-Bos™ PHY decreased undegraded phytate in the abomasum by approximately 70% compared with a control diet. Additional studies in lactating dairy cows demonstrated that Omni-Bos™ PHY:
- Improved phosphorus and phytate digestibility
- Reduced nitrogen and phosphorus excretion
- Increased digestibility of nutrients including crude protein and calcium
Collectively, these findings demonstrate Omni-Bos™ PHY’s ability to improve nutrient utilization and help dairy producers maximize the value of every ton of feed while supporting more sustainable production systems.

Print Infrastructure Is the Biggest Zero Trust Gap CIOs Haven’t Closed, Survey Finds7.10.2026 14:30:00 CEST | Press release
54% of CIOs and IT leaders call the risk in their document and print workflows “known and accepted,” even as only 16% have brought print into their Zero Trust architecture Vasion today released new research revealing a security gap hiding in plain sight across enterprise IT: CIOs and IT leaders know their print environments carry risk, but print remains largely outside their Zero Trust strategies even as failures continue to disrupt business operations. According to an independent survey of 500+ enterprise CIOs and senior IT leaders commissioned by Vasion through Censuswide, 54% of respondents describe their print environment as “actively managed, with known and accepted risks.” At the same time, 61% report that print or document workflow failures disrupt their business at least once a week.
