The present study evaluated the effects of limestone particle size and Ca concentration on
apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of P and Ca in the presence or absence of a 6-phytase …

Phytase is of importance to the poultry industry because of its ability to hydrolyze phytate
and release phosphorus (P) for use by poultry. However, the effect of age on phytase …

Amino acids (AA) are the second most expensive component of broiler diets after energy,
