INFLUENCE OF DIETARY NON-PHYTATE PHOSPHOROUS LEVELS AND PHYTASE SUPPLEMENTATION ON THE PERFORMANCE AND BONE CHARACTERISTICS OF BROILERS

Influence of dietary non-phytate phosphorous levels and phytase supplementation on the performance and bone characteristics of broilers

Precise phosphorus nutrition is important for significant reductions in both P pollution and ration costs.The influence of different levels (%) of dietary nPP fed from 0 to 20 d (0.45, 0.40, 0.35, 0.30, 0.25, compared with feeding 0.20 nPP with and without 500 F.T.U.of phytase per kg of diet) and from 21 to 36 d of age (0.414, 0.364, 0.314, 0.264,
