Phosphorus (P) is primarily stored in the form of phytates in plant seeds, thus being poorly
available for monogastric livestock, such as pigs and poultry. As phytate is a polyanionic …

During the past decade, the inclusion of microbial phytase in poultry diets has increased
remarkably, mainly in response to heightened concerns over phosphorus (P) pollution of the …

1. The effects of myo-inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) and phytase (EC 3.1. 3.26) on the
excretion of endogenous compounds were investigated using growing broiler chickens. 2. A …

Protein–phytate interactions are fundamental to the detrimental impact of phytate on
protein/amino acid availability. The inclusion of exogenous phytase in pig and poultry diets …

To more precisely formulate feed and predict animal performance, it is important to base
both the recommendations and feed formulations on digestible rather than total amino acid …

Phytate, the mixed salt of phytic acid (myo-inositol hexaphosphate), derived from plant-
sourced feed ingredients is invariably present in practical diets for pigs. Typically, swine …

Maize contributes approximately 65% of the metabolisable energy and 20% of the protein in
a broiler starter diet and is by far the most commonly used cereal grain in the diets of …

To investigate the additive effects of xylanase, amylase, protease, and phytase in the diets of
broiler chickens, a study was conducted using 1,152 growing broiler chicks (8 treatments …

This study investigated the effect of dietary Ca to available P (AvP) ratio and phytase
supplementation on bone ash, ileal phytate degradation, and nutrient digestibility in broilers …

This study aimed to distinguish between the single and interactive effects of phosphorus (P),
calcium (Ca), and phytase on products of phytate degradation, including the disappearance …
