We conduct this study to investigate the effects of corn‐wheat‐soybean meal (SBM)‐based diet supplemented with high‐dosing Trichoderma reesei phytase on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass traits, faecal gas emission and meat quality in growing‐finishing pigs (29.71–110.58 kg live weight; 70‐day‐old to 166‐day‐old). A total of 56 crossbred pigs [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc] were used in 96‐day experiment with a completely randomized block design. The growing period was from day 0 to 42, and the finishing period was from day 43 to 96. Pigs were randomly allocated to one of two treatments with seven replicate pens and four pigs (two barrows and two gilts) per pen and fed corn‐wheat‐SBM‐based nutrient adequate basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with 1500 FTU/kg diet Trichoderma reesei phytase. One phytase unit (FTU) was defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyses the release of one micromole phosphate from phytate per minute at 37°C and pH 5.5. Dietary supplement with Trichoderma reesei phytase had increased body weight on day 96 and average daily gain in days 0–96. Moreover, high apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of phosphorus (P) was observed in pigs fed with Trichoderma reesei phytase. However, the carcass traits, faecal gas emission and meat quality of pigs were unaffected by Trichoderma reesei phytase supplementation. In conclusion, supplementation of high‐dosing Trichoderma reesei phytase (1500 FTU/kg diet) in the corn‐wheat‐SBM‐based nutrient adequate basal diet increased body weight and the ATTD of P, while no adverse effects were observed on the production characteristics.
