Raising the phytase podium

To improve phosphorus availability and tackle the antinutritional effects of phytates, phytases have been increasingly used in animal feeds over the past 30 years. Effective phytases are currently available on the market, but there is still room for improvement. Phosphorus plays a key role in metabolism and physiological processes such as bone development and maintenance, energy utilisation, protein synthesis, and efficient feed utilisation. Because monogastric animals lack phytases – enzymes
