To enhance and get the best outputs supplements like Phytase Enzymes are used in poultry feed. Phytases have dominated the poultry world from last 20 years, making it more and more important for this sector.

Phytase Enzyme contains phosphorous(P) which is an essential nutrient in poultry diets. It adversely affects growth, reproduction, and feed use.

Most of the natural phosphorus in feed ingredient are unavailable to animals. To compensate the loss plant phosphorous being excreted, undigested, inorganic phosphate has to be added to diets.

An increase of Phytase enzymes can have major benefits for poultry and swine producers which are:

·       Bringing down the level of inorganic phosphorus in diets

·       Decreased feed costs

·       Better sustainability of animal production

All the requirements of birds like the immune system, balanced diet, and energy level are maintained by Phytase Enzyme.

Rather than adding high levels of inorganic P to layer feeds, the safety margin currently included in recommending dietary specifications could be provided by the addition of phytase. This would dilute the negative effects of intensive poultry production that are associated with P excretion.

More often P in the poultry feeds is unavailable in birds because it is present in Phytase enzyme which should be included in the poultry feed in good amount.

Phytase Enzyme has been introduced to the poultry feed industry to transfer phosphorous from phytase to the bird, thus decreasing the environmental costs of poultry production. Nutrients affected by phytates include minerals and protein, and phytase has been shown to affect the release of energy.

Protein and energy are most important in the poultry feed and both these nutrients are provided through Phytase. 

 

Many tests had been done on birds to check whether Phytase enzyme is useful or not and this test was done in 1 week.

Measuring feed consumption just before diet changes allowed the hens the longest possible time to adjust to nutrient amounts so that it more accurately reflected dietary nutrients. Mortality was recorded throughout the test.

This test was done on eggs too, and the results were very good as the eggs after the tests were of very good quality and were considered healthy and fit to consume. 

Like all the other supplements PHYTASE ENZYME is also important for poultry feed.
