Abstract We aimed to investigate phosphorus (P) mobilization by different plant species from organic and inorganic sources in relation P mechanisms. Knowledge about is important for producing crops on other than phosphate rock-derived fertilizers. conducted a greenhouse experiment with four (maize, soy, lupin, mustard) three (FePO 4 , phytate, struvite). determined pH phosphomonoesterase activi...

We have recently expressed a new phytase enzyme in a yeast system. Three experiments with a total of 140 weanling crossbred pigs were conducted to examine the efficacy of this enzyme in improving the bioavailability of phytate-P in corn-soybean meal diets to young pigs. Experiment 1 compared the efficacy of this new phytase with a commercially available phytase (Natuphos, BASF) for 4 wk at an i...

A study was conducted to find out the Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in terms of cellulose, hemicellulose, Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF), Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF) and phytate phosphorus content of locally available poultry feed ingredients in and around Namakkal area. The mean NDF (%) of feed ingredients varied from 9.55 in maize and 11.64 in soyabean meal (SBM) to 45.88 in sunflower meal (...
