Dietary effect of phytogenic phytase and an addition of microbial phytase to a diet based on field beans, wheat, peas and barley on the utilization of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, zinc and protein in piglets

Abstract: The effect of the addition of microbial phytase to a diet based on field beans (30%), wheat (28%), peas (25%), and barley (14%) was studied in a 2-week experiment with 3 x 8 castrated male, individually housed, hybrid piglets (live weight range 12-16 kg). All diets contained about 4.7 g Ca, 4.2 g P (77% present as phytate phosphorus), 1.0 g Mg, 60 mg Zn per kg diet, and 17% crude protein. Group I was fed the basal diet with a native phytase-activity of about 260 U per kg diet. In group II, 350 U, in group III,… Show more

“…All the indicators of Zn status we investigated in this study, except growth performance and bone bending moment, responded linearly to the dietary Zn level. As previously reported by Pallauf et al [22][23][24], our study confirms that the Zn requirement is above 56 mg·kg -1 Zn in complex diets.…”

“…Phytate binds positively charged molecules (cations), such as Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Zn 2+ , Fe 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Cu 2+ , or proteins below the isoelectric point because phytate is strongly negatively charged above pH 2. Supplementation with phytase has been reported to increase the digestibility of Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn, Cu, and Fe in pigs at a dosage level of 500 to 1,500 phytase FTU/ kg of feed [2,3]. A meta-analysis showed that phytase inclusion up to 500 FTU/kg rapidly increased the generated digestible Zn and Cu.…”

“…InsP 6 bound P is poorly available to monogastric animals like pigs causing excessive P excretion, which results in environmental pollution in areas with high densities of animals [8,9]. Naturally occurring plant phytase in the feed [10][11][12][13] or added commercial microbial phytase [14][15][16] catalyses the hydrolysis of InsP 6 , producing myo-inositol pentakis-, tetrakis-, tris-, bis-, monophosphates (InsP 5 -InsP 1 ) and finally myo-inositol [17]. The extent to which InsP 6 and its degradation products are hydrolysed before and during digestion is of significance for the availability of P. Therefore, it is of great interest to investigate the InsP 6 degradation pathways and products.…”
