Safety assessment of a novel thermostable phytase
A novel 6-phytase (Phytase TSP, trade name OptiPhos® PLUS) with improved thermostability has been developed for use in animal feed. The safety of the new phytase was evaluated by testing for genotoxicity and subchronic toxicity.

Available phosphorus levels modulate gene expression related to intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption and bone parameters differently in gilts and barrows [PDF]
Objective Dietary phytase increases bioavailability of phytate-bound phosphorus (P) in pig nutrition affecting dietary calcium (Ca) to P ratio, intestinal uptake, and systemic utilization of both minerals, which may contribute to improper bone ...

Enhanced Farrowing Efficiency and Sow Performance with <i>Escherichia coli</i>-Derived 6-Phytase Supplementation During Late Gestation and Lactation. [PDF]
Phytase releases phosphorus from phytate and may confer extra-phosphoric benefits in sows. We tested whether Escherichia coli-derived 6-phytase during late gestation and lactation improves sow and litter outcomes. In a randomized complete block trial, 186 TN70 sows received a phytase-free positive control (adequate Ca and available P) or Ca- and P ...

Fate of thymol and its monoglucosides in the gastrointestinal tract of piglets [PDF]
The monoterpene thymol has been proposed as a valuable alternative to in-feed antibiotics in animal production. However, the effectiveness of the antimicrobial is comprised by its fast absorption in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

A novel consensus bacterial 6-phytase variant added to phytate-rich diets totally replaced inorganic phosphate in broilers [PDF]
The capacity of a novel bacterial 6-phytase variant (PhyG) to totally replace dietary supplemental inorganic phosphate (Pi) in broilers aged one day old was evaluated using a phased dosing strategy and reduction in dietary phytate. A total of 1,248 one-day-old Ross 308 broilers were assigned to 24 pens (52 birds/pen, 12 pens/diet, six each males and ...

Potential immune-modulatory effects of wheat phytase on the performance of a mouse macrophage cell line, Raw 264.7, exposed to long-chain inorganic polyphosphate [PDF]
Objective This experiment was conducted to find out the immunological effects of wheat phytase when long-chain inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) treated with wheat phytase was added to a macrophage cell line, Raw 264.7, when compared to intact long-chain ...
