The amino acid response to phytase

Adding phytase to monogastric diets increases the digestibility of phosphorus and calcium. But there is less data available on the effect of adding phytase on amino acid digestibility. More understanding on this interaction is therefore needed. Whilst the benefit of adding phytase to pig and poultry diets is largely undisputed, the nutrient uplift values manufacturers attribute to their products can vary markedly. This is particularly the case for amino acid release values. To improve understan
