Performance of pigs fed diets with microbial phytase (MP)

Alcantara, et al. (1998) of UPLB evaluated the effect of MP on the production performance of pigs fed corn-soy-rice bran-based diets. MP is a feed supplement necessary for the absorption of phosphorous by the animals. Data showed that the performance of pigs receiving 50% less mono/dicalcium phosphate (MDCP) with MP was comparable to those receiving 100% MDCP alone, in terms of average daily gain.
