Application of phytase in feed having low content of phytate

摘要

The present invention relates to the application of the enzyme phytase in feed having a low-phytate content. The invention discloses methods of feeding a low-phytate diet supplemented with a phytase. Feeding an animal a low-phytate diet comprising a phytase improves the mineral status of the animal and results in improved zootechnical results such as improved growth rate and feed conversion ratio. The invention also discloses a low-phytate feed for animals supplemented with a phytase as well as methods for the preparation of such feed.
