Efficacy of phytase on growth performance, nutrient utilization and bone mineralization in broiler chicken
The growth performance as well as calcium and phosphorus utilization of broiler chicken was poor in low phosphorus fed birds.
•
The commercial phytase supplementation @500 FTU/kg feed was optimum for replacing 1.2 g/kg inorganic P in the broiler chicken diet.
•
The efficacy of the laboratory fungal phytase was inferior to that of commercial phytase for growth performance.
