(RTTNews) - Origin Agritech Ltd. (SEED: News ) announced it has received the Bio-safety Certificate from the Ministry of Agriculture as a final approval for commercial approval of genetically modified phytase corn.

The company noted that its phytase corn is the first transgenic corn to officially introduce the next generation of corn product approved and sold commercially into the domestic marketplace.
Phytase transgenic corn will allow animal feed producers the ability to eliminate purchasing phytase and corn separately. The company stated that its GMO phytase-producing corn is expected to reduce the need for inorganic phosphate supplements as animals will directly absorb more phosphate from their feed, reducing animal feed's high cost.
