A Novel Bacterial 6-Phytase Improves Productive Performance, Precaecal Digestibility of Phosphorus, and Bone Mineralization in Laying Hens Fed a Corn-Soybean Meal Diet Low in Calcium and Available Phosphorus
Exogenous phytases are commonly added to low-phosphorus and low-calcium diets to improve P availability and reduce P excretion by poultry. This study investigated the effect of supplementation with a novel bacterial 6-phytase on egg production, egg quality, bone mineralization, and precaecal digesti...
