Gut secretions and nutrient absorption responses to dietary phytic acid and phytase in piglets
Phytic acid (PA) reduces nutrient digestibility in pigs and poultry, and has been shown to increase endogenous nutrient losses (ENL) in poultry. However, there is lack of information on the effect of PA on ENL in pigs, and mechanisms by which PA increases ENL. Three experiments were conducted to det...
