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.
