Short Communication - Nutritional Evaluation of Two Sorghum Varieties in Broiler Fortified with Phytase

Positive results have been reported that confirm the beneficial effects of phytase on the hydrolysis of phytic acid molecule, improving the digestibility of minerals, amino acids and energy, translating into higher nutrient utilization by broilers, and positively influencing bone ash concentration as well as increasing bone breaking strength [9-13].

Simple stomach animals mainly pig, birds (Ajith et al., 2018a) (including poultry) and fish cannot metabolize phytic acid phosphorus, because of the reason that they have very limited level of phytic acid degrading phytase enzyme activity in their digestive system (Maenz and Classen, 1998; Cao et al., 2007; Secco et al., 2017; Ajith et al., 2019).
