The effect of supplementary Aspergillus niger phytase in diets for pigs on concentration and apparent digestibility of dry matter, total phosphorus, and phytic acid in different sections of the alimentary tract

Abstract: Six barrows of approximately 37 kg BW, fitted with two simple T-cannulas in the duodenum (25 cm posterior to the pylorus) and terminal ileum (12 to 15 cm anterior to the ileocecal junction), were fed two diets containing 2.1 g of P/kg in the form of phytic acid and a low intrinsic phytase activity (corn-soybean meal based diet [Diet A] or a typical Dutch diet [Diet B]) without or with supplementary microbial phytase from Aspergillus niger (var. ficuum) equal to 1,500 phytase units per kilogram of diet, in a cr… Show more

“…This finding again supports the view that the large intestine does not play a significant role in the absorption of exogenous P (Jongbloed et al, 1992;Liu et al, 2000;Fan et al, 2001;Shen et al, 2002;Ajakaiye et al, 2003). True P digestibility values determined in this study (58%) suggest that an average of 58% of total P in brown rice could be digested and absorbed by weanling pigs.…”

“…Growth performance, rib mineralization and P digestibility were all improved when phytase was added to the diet. This is in agreement with studies in the literature which have demonstrated increased daily gains and feed intakes (Beers and Jongbloed, 1992;Jongbloed et al, 1992;Qian, 1996, Yi et al, 1996), increased bone breaking strength or shear force Yi et al, 1996) and increases in P digestibility or retention (Hoppe et al, 1992;Lei et al, 1993a,b;Mroz et al, 1994;Kornegay and Qian, 1996;Yi et al, 1996) when pigs are fed diets supplemented with phytase.…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated that the addition of microbial phytase improves P digestibility and therefore decreases P excretion by 25 to 50% when the level of supplemental P is lowered (Simons et al, 1990;Jongbloed et al, 1992;Kornegay, 1995).…”

“…Dietary phosphorus solubilisation has been studied in monogastric animals [11,21,27,38], but only few authors have studied ruminants. Sixty percent of phosphorus waste of animal origin come from ruminants [34].…”
