PHYTN, Thermotoga naphthophila, Recombinant
phytase, Poultry feed, Phytate.
There were four kinds of enzymes in the experiment, named glucoamylase, cellulase,
phytase and pectinase.
Phytase is an enzyme, chemically known as myoinositol (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) -hexaphosphate phosphohydrolase, and mainly catalyses the hydrolysis of phytate rendering P available for absorption.
Microbial
phytase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phytic acid and release chelated nutrients and mineral in plant protein source.
Development of formulated diets for snakehead (Channa striata and Channa micropeltes): can
phytase and taurine supplementation increase use of soybean meal to replace fish meal?
As per the findings of the report,
phytase is the most widely used feed enzyme in the world, included in 90% of poultry and 70% of pig-diets.
Due to low content of available phosphorous in these ingredients and the low endogenous
phytase activity in birds (Rapp, Lantzsch, & Drochner, 2001; Zimmermann et al.
Various reported
phytase-producing isolates and showed that the
phytases with broader substrate specificity generally had low specific activities.
Exogenous enzymes are being broadly studied and used in animal nutrition with
phytase being one of the most widely known.
Effect of microbial
phytase produced from a fungus Aspergillus niger on bioavailability of phosphorus and calcium in broiler chickens.
She also spent some time investigating the character and activity of
phytase and polyphenol oxidase enzymes in wheat.
Carbohydrases, protease and
phytase have an additive beneficial effect in nutritionally marginal diets for broiler chicks.
