The objectives of this meta-analysis were to determine to which extent phosphorus (P)
digestibility and digestible P concentration in pig diets were increased by phytase …

BACKGROUND Consumption of pseudocereal‐based foods decreased in phytate
concentration can provide better nutrition concerning mineral bioavailability. This study …

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the interaction between dietary total
phosphorus (P) level and phytase on the performance of growing-finishing pigs. In …

Previous research indicates that “super-dosing” phytase may improve pig growth
performance by improved nutrient use, although the benefits appear to be more consistent in …

Global aquaculture has seen an unprecedented expansion in recent years partly due to
“functional feeds” that is known to improve feed utilization, fish growth performance and …

The effects of phytase on phosphorus (P) digestibility are well established. However, there
are few studies that report P balance, particularly when phytase is used in diets that have …

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the growth performance and bone mineral
content (BMC) of nursery pigs in response to increasing total calcium (Ca) to available …

Minerals in swine diets continue to be a challenge in swine production. Zn and Cu are used
by the swine industry as pharmacological agents that enhance growth at concentrations …

We investigated the impact of total Ca: total P on the Ca and P digestibility and growth
performance of pigs. Two experiments were performed. In experiment 1, a total of 2688 …

Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that particle size or origin of field
peas does not influence apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) or standardized total tract …
