Article Synopsis
- Two experiments tested if corn-expressed phytase improves young pigs' growth, bone health, and nutrient digestibility when their diets lack calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P).
- In Experiment 1, 60 pigs were divided into six groups based on different diets, with controlled levels of Ca and P, and results showed that those on diets without sufficient nutrients had worse outcomes, but adding phytase improved their growth and bone measurements.
- Experiment 2 confirmed similar findings with a different group of 48 pigs, where both sources of phytase (corn-expressed and commercial) showed comparable effectiveness in enhancing growth and bone health when added to deficient diets.
