Feeding whole grain and phytase to meat chickens: recent Australian experience
2019
Moss, Amy F. | Liu, Sonia Yun | Selle, Peter H.
Both whole-grain feeding and exogenous phytases have been widely accepted by the chicken-meat industry, so any interactions that arise from this combined supplementation are potentially important. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of research evaluating the effect of phytase under whole-grain feeding regimens. Whole-grain feeding increases relative gizzard weights and gizzard functionality. However, the gizzard is the primary site of phytate degradation by phytase, so this combined supplementation should enhance phytase efficacy. Moreover, there has been recent progress towards understanding the influence of whole-grain feeding and exogenous phytase on broiler performance, which is discussed. Further research is warranted to establish a whole-grain feeding regimen that generates robust gizzard responses so as to enhance feed efficiency, energy utilisation and phytase efficacy.
