Is Phytase enzyme the only weapon in the battle against phytate?

Approximately two-thirds of phosphorous in feedstuffs of plant origin is in the form of phytate (myo-inositol hexaphosphate; IP6) and is unavailable to monogastric animals.   Phytate also interacts with other nutrients such as protein and has a detrimental impact on the bioavailability of nutrients. On top of that, undigested phosphorous excreted by poultry and swine runs off into the environment and creates environmental issues. Adding phytase enzyme to the diet has been the prime strategy to
