Update on the use of phytase in pigs

While the penetration of phytase in the world market is about 90%, it is estimated that "only" 70% of swine producers use this enzyme. But as data is collected and reported benefits increase, so does this trend. Recent research has not only shown that the replacement of inorganic sources of phosphorus in pigs for phytase is very possible, but that there is also an effect on weaned piglets, growing pigs and finishing pigs. Rafa Duran outlines this research in this article.
