Description of 3 failed attempts to estimate the calcium equivalency of phytase for growth performance and tibia ash of broiler chickens when using graded dietary levels of limestone

ABSTRACT: Three broiler experiments were conducted to estimate the Ca equivalency of a novel phytase using direct and indirect methods. All 3 experiments employed 4 concentrations of limestone to create 4 reference diets, deficient in nonphytate P, with increasing dietary Ca. Phytase was supplemente...
