Extract

Enzymic hydrolysis of phytates has been shown to improve the apparent digestibility of phosphorus. Other nutrients bound to phytates may be released during phytate degradation by phytases. Dietary yeast may also improve the availability of phosphorus to pigs by altering gut fermentation patterns.

The objectives of this experiment were (1) to study the effects of phytase on the apparent digestibility of phosphorus and other nutrients associated with phytates, and (2) to determine whether an alteration in fermentation induced by dietary yeast inclusion influenced availability of phosphorus.
