Haetinger VS, Sung JY, Adedokun SA, Dozier WA, Parsons CM, Rodehutscord M, Adeola O. Ileal phosphorus digestibility of soybean meal for broiler chickens remains consistent across institutions in a collaborative study regardless of non-phytate phosphorus concentration in the pre-experimental starter diet. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103602. [PMID: 38484566 PMCID: PMC10950890 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The same experimental protocol was used in 4 institutions to evaluate the impact of non-phytate phosphorus (nPP) concentration in the starter diet on regression method-derived ileal P digestibility of soybean meal (SBM) during the subsequent grower phase. A total of 1,536 Ross 308 male broiler chickens on d 0 post hatching were allotted to 2 pre-experimental starter diets that contained 3.5 or 4.5 g nPP/kg (96 replicate cages per diet, 8 birds per cage) for 18 d. Subsequently, 576 birds from each starter diet were selected and allocated to 3 experimental semi-purified grower diets containing 400, 510, or 620 g SBM/kg (32 replicate cages per diet, 6 birds per cage) for 3 d until collection of ileal digesta. Statistical analysis was conducted as a randomized complete block design with the starter period as whole plot and the grower period as split-plot. The only significant 2-way interaction was between grower diet and experimental institution (P < 0.05) on BW gain and gain to feed ratio. The main effect of institution and grower diet impacted (P < 0.05) feed intake, the digestibility of DM, P, and calcium, and disappearance of inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) in the grower diets. Birds fed the 3.5 g nPP/kg starter diet had lower (P < 0.05) BW gain and feed intake during the grower period, but presented higher (P < 0.05) digestibility of P and disappearance of InsP6 compared with the birds that were fed the 4.5 g nPP/kg starter diet. Regression method-derived ileal P digestibility of SBM was determined to be 46 or 42% for the respective 3.5 or 4.5 g nPP/kg pre-experimental starter diet and was not affected by the nPP concentration or by the institution. In conclusion, the experimental protocol used in the current study resulted in similar estimates across multiple institutions and is thus endorsed for future application in studies that aim to expand the database of digestible P content in plant source feed ingredients.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestible (SID) calcium requirement of fast-growing broilers from hatch to d 14 post-hatch. Ross 308 (n = 360) male broilers were obtained on day of hatch and allocated to 1 of 5 treatments in battery cages. There were 6 birds per cage and 12 pens per treatment. Four treatments were formulated to contain 0.60%, 0.46%, 0.32% or 0.18% SID Ca. The final treatment was formulated using total Ca to meet or exceed all nutrient requirements, including 0.90% total Ca and 0.49% non-phytate P (nPP), using the same ingredients. This treatment was the reference diet for comparison and validation of the SID Ca diets. Birds and feed were weighed at placement and on d 14. Tibias and ileal contents were obtained on d 14 and excreta was collected per pen and pooled on d 14. Data were analyzed using JMP Pro and requirements were estimated using 3 different non-linear regression models. Increasing the SID Ca content in the diet from 0.18% to 0.60% improved (quadratic, P < 0.05) body weight gain and mortality corrected feed conversion ratio (mFCR). The estimated SID Ca requirement to optimize gain or mFCR was between 0.39% and 0.52%. Tibia ash percent and weight increased (quadratic, P < 0.05) as SID Ca content in the diet increased and the estimated SID Ca requirement was between 0.32% and 0.58%. Phosphorus utilization was improved in birds fed diets formulated using SID Ca compared with birds fed the reference diet. In conclusion, the SID Ca requirement of fast-growing broilers from hatch to d 14 was estimated between 0.534% and 0.398% when quadratic, straight-broken line, or quadratic-broken line regressions were used. These results agree with previously published data evaluating the SID Ca requirement of fast-growth broilers from hatch to d 10.

Haetinger VS, Adeola O. Comparison of different protein sources on the phosphorus digestibility of soybean meal for broiler chickens determined using the regression method. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103327. [PMID: 38128455 PMCID: PMC10776633 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.103327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the P digestibility in soybean meal (SBM) using the regression method with different basal diet that varied in protein sources. The treatments were organized in a 4 × 3 factorial arrangement, where 4 semipurified diets were formulated with varying source of protein (no protein supplement, or added casein, potato protein isolate (PPI), or dried egg albumen (DEA) at 60 g/kg) and 3 dietary levels of SBM (290, 370, or 450 g/kg). The study was a randomized complete block design with 8 replicate cages of 6 birds per cage. The experimental diets were fed from d 19 to 22 posthatching, excreta samples were collected from d 20 to 22, and ileal digesta samples were collected on d 22. Data were analyzed as a 2-way ANOVA using the GLM procedure. The digestibility and total tract utilization of DM, P, Ca, and N were affected by protein source (P < 0.05). Diets with casein presented the highest (P < 0.05) digestibility of N. Increasing SBM level in all dietary protein sources reduced (P < 0.001) the digestibility and total tract utilization of DM. The regression-derived ileal digestibility of P in SBM was 57.8 (SE = 3.78), 63.2 (SE = 5.02), 58.8 (SE = 4.53), and 35.3% (SE = 5.27) for diets without protein supplement, with casein, PPI, or DEA, respectively; the corresponding P retention were 52.2 (SE = 11.09), 83.4 (SE = 14.89), 42.6 (SE = 15.88), and 51.9% (SE = 14.67). The protein source affected (P < 0.05) the slope and intercept of P digestibility in SBM. A comparison of the coefficients using confidence intervals demonstrated that the ileal digestibility of P in SBM determined in diets with DEA was lower (P < 0.05) than the other protein sources, which did not differ from one another. These results indicate that the selection of dietary protein supplements may affect P digestibility assays using the regression method.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to estimate phosphorus (P) equivalency of exogenous phytase relative to P from monosodium phosphate (MSP) in broiler chickens. To attain this objective, the impact of dietary MSP or exogenous phytase on growth performance, ileal digestibility of P, and bone characteristics in broiler chickens was assessed. Six experimental diets consisting of a P-deficient basal diet based on corn and soybean meal, basal diet plus 0.9 or 1.8 g/kg of inorganic P from MSP, and basal diet plus 500, 1,000, or 2,000 FYT/kg of exogenous phytase. Calcium to P ratio in all diets was maintained at 1.5:1. A total of 576 male broiler chickens (Cobb 500; initial BW = 190 ± 17 g) on d 8 post hatching were allotted to the 6 dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design using BW as a blocking factor. Each dietary treatment contained 8 replicate cages with 12 birds per cage. On d 11 post hatching, 7 birds from each cage were euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation and dissected for the collection of ileal digesta. On d 18, ileal digesta were also collected from the remaining 5 birds in each cage. The left femur and tibia were collected from the bird with the median BW on d 11 and 18 from each cage, and analyzed for bone breaking strength and bone ash. Weight gain and gain-to-feed ratio linearly or quadratically increased (P < 0.05) in every period as the inclusion rate of MSP or phytase increased. Ileal digestibility of P linearly increased (P < 0.05) on d 11 with increasing MSP, but there was no significant effect on d 18. Increasing phytase concentration linearly increased (P < 0.05) ileal digestibility of P on d 11 and 18. Increasing dietary MSP or phytase linearly increased ileal digestible P concentration in diets (P < 0.05). Bone breaking strength and bone ash linearly or quadratically increased (P < 0.05) with increasing inclusion rate of MSP or phytase on d 11 and 18. The equivalency of 1,000 FYT/kg of exogenous phytase based on dietary ileal digestible P concentration was 1.5 and 1.2 g/kg of inorganic P in diets on d 11 and 18, respectively. The current results showed that the supplementation of MSP or exogenous phytase can increase growth performance, ileal P digestibility, bone breaking strength, and bone ash in young broiler chickens.

Abstract
Exogenous phytases are commonly added to low-phosphorus and low-calcium diets to improve P availability and reduce P excretion by poultry. This study investigated the effect of supplementation with a novel bacterial 6-phytase on egg production, egg quality, bone mineralization, and precaecal digestibility of P in laying hens fed corn-soybean meal-based diets. A total of 576 Hy-Line brown laying hens were used in a completely randomized block design at 25-45 weeks of age (woa). The three treatments included a positive control (PC) adequate-nutrient diet with 2840 kcal metabolizable energy/kg, 0.77% digestible lysine, 3.5% Ca, and 0.30% available P (avP); a negative control (NC) diet with 0.16% points less Ca and avP; and an NC diet supplemented with a novel bacterial 6-phytase at 300 phytase units/kg diet. Hen performance and the percentage of damaged eggs were measured every 4 weeks. Body weight, precaecal digestibility of P, and bone parameters at 45 woa were also measured. The reduction in avP and Ca in the NC diet did not compromise performance or egg quality. However, it decreased (P < 0.001) body weight, tibial dry matter, tibial ash and P content, and precaecal digestibility of P. Importantly, all these parameters were significantly improved (P < 0.001) and essentially restored to the levels measured in PC diet-fed hens upon supplementation with phytase. In summary, the present study demonstrates that the new bacterial 6-phytase could effectively counteract the negative effects of P and Ca deficiencies on body weight, bone mineralization, and P availability, thereby supporting high productivity without compromising the welfare of laying hens.

From sewage sludge ash to a recycled feed phosphate - digestibility of precipitated calcium phosphate in broiler chickens and growing pigs. Animal 2023; 17:100819. [PMID: 37167818 DOI: 10.1016/j.animal.2023.100819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Today, EU is largely (∼92%) dependent on the import of phosphates as most mines are located outside Europe. Because of the limited availability, phosphorus (P) is included on the list of Critical Raw Materials. Precipitated calcium phosphate (PCP) recovered from sewage sludge ash is a novel and sustainable option to replace mined P as raw material in feed phosphates, e.g. monocalcium phosphate (MCP) or dicalcium phosphate, but the digestibility has not yet been tested in vivo. The aim was therefore to determine PCP and MCP apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of P in broiler chickens and apparent (ATTD) and true (TTTD) total tract digestibility of P in growing pigs. A chicken study comprised 240 Ross 308 chickens that were housed in groups of eight from day 21 to day 28. Five diets were used, a basal diet and two test diets, which contributed either 0.075% (low) or 0.150% (high) additional P for each of the test sources (MCP and PCP). The basal and test diets were composed to achieve increasing levels of P and AID was calculated with regression analysis. In the pig study, eight individually housed pigs were used in a change-over study with two experimental periods. The pigs were fed a basal P-free diet in a preperiod to be able to estimate endogenous P losses and then two different diets in two periods using a change-over design, where MCP and PCP were the only P source, providing in total 0.33 (basal diet), 4.42 (MCP) and 3.53 (PCP) g kg-1P, respectively. The AID of P in PCP and MCP for chickens was 58.4 and 75.1% (P = 0.166). The ATTD and TTTD of P in PCP for pigs were 58.4 and 67.2%, respectively, which was lower (P < 0.001) than the corresponding values for MCP (82.1 and 89.1%), respectively. The digestibility of calcium (Ca) did not differ in the chicken diets with high inclusion levels of PCP and MCP (54.7 and 55.3%, respectively, P = 0.535), but was lower for PCP than MCP in the pig study (57.8 and 70.8% respectively, P = 0.001). In conclusion, the digestibility of P in PCP for chickens did not differ from conventional MCP, whereas for pigs, it was lower, but could be a viable alternative to other common sources of P.

Abstract
1. Two experiments were conducted to investigate whether the use of phytase in the pre-experimental or experimental phases of true pre-caecal phosphorus digestibility (TPD) assay influenced the assayed TPD values. In experiments 1 and 2, broiler chickens were randomly allocated to 12 treatments in a 2 × 2 × 3 factorial arrangement. The factors were pre-experimental phytase supplementation (+ or -), experimental phase phytase supplementation (+ or -) with varying soybean meal inclusion levels (450, 560, or 670 g/kg).2. The diets in the pre-experimental phase were based on maize-soybean meal, whereas the diet used during the experimental phase was semi-purified, with soybean meal as the only source of P. Both TPD and true phosphorus retention (TPR) were determined using regression for the P output (g/kg, dry matter basis), pre-caecal or total tract, against P intake (g/kg). Data for TPD and TPR were analysed as a 2 × 2 factorial (with or without pre-experimental or experimental phase phytase).3. In both experiments 1 and 2, there were no significant effects for pre-experimental phytase supplementation nor interaction of pre- and experimental phytase supplementation on any of the pre-caecal digestibility responses. Phytase supplementation during the experimental phase increased (P < 0.01) pre-caecal P digestibility and retention, as well as digestible and retained P intake, and decreased (P < 0.01) P output.4. In experiment 1, pre- and experimental phytase supplementation increased (P < 0.01) the coefficient of TPR. In experiment 2, there was no significant effect of pre-experimental phytase supplementation on coefficient of pre-caecal TPD. However, phytase supplementation in the experimental phase increased (P < 0.01) the coefficient of pre-caecal TPD.5. In conclusion, whether or not phytase was supplemented to a P-adequate diet in the pre-experimental phase of the TPD assay, it had no influence on assayed TPD or TPR value.

Abstract
Simple Summary Variations in phosphorous (P) digestibility as a function of methodology, phosphate source, physicochemical characteristics and commercial source were evaluated in broilers. Three methodologies and two phosphates (monocalcium phosphate, MCP, and dicalcium phosphate, DCP) from three different commercial sources were used in two experiments. In the first experiment, MCP and DCP were incorporated into a P-deficient diet at two levels of inclusion and P digestibility was evaluated using three methodologies of the regression method (total excreta, marker in excreta and prececal digestibility). In the second experiment, variations in P digestibility of six phosphate sources (three MCP and three DCP) were evaluated using the total collection method. The P digestibility of MCP ranged from 75.2 to 87.4% and from 80.5 to 86.6% for DCP amongst methodologies (p > 0.05). Particle size, surface area, degree of crystallinity and impurities varied amongst commercial sources. The P digestibility of the three tested commercial sources of MCP was 79.6% (MCP1), 70.2% (MCP2) and 65.6% (MCP3); p > 0.05. The P digestibility of the three tested commercial sources of DCP was 80.1% (DCP1), 77.4% (DCP2) and 71.4% (DCP3); p > 0.05. Abstract The objective of this study was to compare the total tract (total excreta and marker) and prececal methodologies to determine phosphorus (P) digestibility and to evaluate its variation as a function of the physicochemical characteristics of the inorganic phosphate used (monocalcium, MCP and dicalcium, DCP) from different commercial sources. A total of 176 1-day-old male broilers were used in two digestibility experiments. In Experiment 1, one MCP and one DCP were incorporated in the basal diet at two levels. In Experiment 2, MCP and DCP from three commercial sources were incorporated to the basal diet at one level. Physicochemical characteristics of inorganic phosphates were examined, as well. Additionally, bone mineralization and growth performance traits were investigated in both trials. The digestibility of MCP ranged from 75.2 to 87.4% and from 80.5 to 86.6% for DCP amongst methodologies, but differences between total tract and preceal methodologies were not statistically significant. Particle size, surface area, degree of crystallinity and impurities varied amongst commercial sources. The P digestibility of the three tested commercial sources of MCP was 79.6% (MCP1), 70.2% (MCP2) and 65.6% (MCP3); p > 0.05. The P digestibility of the 3 tested commercial sources of DCP was 80.1% (DCP1), 77.4% (DCP2) and 71.4% (DCP3); p > 0.05.

David LS, Abdollahi MR, Bedford MR, Ravindran V. Requirement of digestible calcium at different dietary concentrations of digestible phosphorus for broiler chickens. 1. Broiler starters (d 1 to 10 post-hatch). Poult Sci 2021; 100:101439. [PMID: 34607153 PMCID: PMC8493592 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2021.101439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Revised: 08/12/2021] [Accepted: 08/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the digestible calcium (Ca) and digestible phosphorous (P) requirements of 10-day-old broiler chickens. Fifteen corn-soybean meal-based diets containing 3.3, 3.9, 4.4, 5.0, and 5.5 g/kg standardized ileal digestible (SID) Ca and 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 g/kg SID P was fed to broilers from d 1 to 10. Each experimental diet was randomly allocated to 6 replicate cages (12 birds per cage). Body weight and feed intake were recorded at the start and end of the experiment and the feed conversion ratio was calculated. On d 10, birds were euthanized to collect ileal digesta, toes and tibia for the determination of digestible Ca and P, toe ash concentration and the concentrations of ash, Ca, and P in tibia. Titanium dioxide (5 g/kg) was included in all diets as an indigestible indicator for apparent ileal digestibility measurements. Total excreta were collected from d 1 to 10 for the measurement of total tract retention of Ca and P. Fixed effects of the experiment were dietary concentrations of SID Ca and SID P and their interaction. If the interaction or main effects were significant (P < 0.05), the parameter estimates for second-order response surface model were determined using General Linear Model procedure of SAS software. The growth performance, bone mineralization and mineral utilization of broiler starters were found to be optimized at 5 g/kg SID P concentration. Required SID Ca for maximum weight gain and bone mineralization was determined to be 3.32 and 4.36 to 4.78 g/kg, respectively, at 5 g/kg SID P concentration, which correspond to SID Ca to SID P ratios of 0.66 and 0.87 to 0.96, respectively. The estimated SID Ca requirement for weight gain is lower than the current Ca recommendation (9.6 g/kg total Ca or 4.4 g/kg SID Ca) for broiler starters. However, bone mineralization is maximized around the current total Ca recommendation at 8.9 to 9.8 g/kg (4.36-4.78 g/kg SID Ca) and indicates that bone mineralization requires more Ca than growth performance.

Abstract
One-day-old broiler chicks were used to investigate the optimal age to start feeding phosphorus (P)-deficient (PD) diets with two non-phytate P (nPP) concentrations in experiment 1, and 7-d-old broiler chicks were used to determine P equivalency of a hybrid 6-phytase to inorganic P in monocalcium phosphate (MCP) in experiment 2. In experiment 1, six treatments were prepared with 5, 6, or 7-d-old birds to start feeding PD diets with 1.3 or 1.5 g·kg−1 nPP. Age of birds to start feeding P-deficient diets tended to decrease (P = 0.052) mortality of birds during 14 d of feeding P-deficient diets. In experiment 2, twelve treatments including one basal diet, five diets supplied with 0.5, 0.9, 1.3, 1.7, or 2.1 g·kg−1 inorganic P, and six diets supplied with 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, or 2000 FTU·kg−1 phytase were fed to chickens from days 7 to 21 post hatching. Increasing phytase activity quadratically increased (P < 0.01) body weight gain, feed intake, and tibia ash of birds and apparent ileal digestibility and total tract retention of P. In conclusion, age of birds to start feeding PD diet affected their performance, and hybrid 6-phytase may partly replace MCP in a PD diet for broiler chickens.

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to determine energy (Exp. 1) and P (Exp. 2) utilization in poultry meal (PM) for broiler chickens. A total of 192 birds were allotted to 3 experimental diets in a randomized complete block design with BW as a blocking factor on d 15 and 16 post hatching in Exp. 1 and 2, respectively. Each diet was fed to 8 replicate cages with 8 birds per cage in both experiments. Initial BW of birds in Exp. 1 and 2 were 438 ± 76.9 g and 543 ± 50.2 g, respectively. Three corn-soybean meal-based diets were prepared to contain 0, 80, or 160 g/kg in Exp. 1 and 0, 50, or 100 g/kg in Exp. 2. In Exp. 1, the addition of PM to the reference diet linearly decreased (P < 0.01) the apparent ileal digestibility of DM and gross energy (GE), as well as the apparent total tract utilization (ATTU) of DM, GE, and N in diets; but did not affect the ileal digestible energy, ME, and MEn of diets. The ileal digestible energy, ME, and MEn of PM estimated by the regression method were 4,002, 3,756, and 3,430 kcal/kg DM, respectively, representing 58 to 68% of the GE in PM. In Exp. 2, graded concentration of PM in the reference diet linearly decreased (P < 0.05) ATTU of DM but linearly increased (P < 0.01) ATTU of P and quadratically increased ATTU of Ca in diets. The true ileal digestibility and true total tract utilization of P in PM estimated by the regression method were 77.5 and 79.0%, respectively. In conclusion, these results showed that inclusion of poultry meal in the diets of broiler chickens reduced the digestibility of GE but increased the utilization of P. The regression-estimated energy values and P digestibility of PM in the current studies may be used in diet formulation.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of inositol and gradient phytase supplementation on growth performance and meat yield of broilers from 1 to 41 d of age. A total of 1,920 Yield Plus × Ross 708 male chicks were placed in 64 floor pens (30 birds per pen). Each pen received one of the 8 dietary treatments (8 replicate pens) from 1 to 15, 16 to 29, and 30 to 40 d of age. Treatment 1 was formulated to contain 0.165 and 0.150% lower calcium and phosphorus, respectively, than treatment 7 (positive control). Phytase was added to treatment 1 at concentration of 500, 1,500, 4,500, 13,500, and 40,500 phytase units (FTU)/kg to establish treatments 2 to 6, respectively. Treatment 8 was formulated by adding inositol to treatment 7 based on the expected inositol liberation in treatment 6. Feed and birds were weighed at 1, 15, 29, and 40 d of age to determine BW gain, feed intake, and feed conversion. Twelve birds per pen were processed at 41 d of age to determine carcass characteristics. From 1 to 40 d of age, log-quadratic effects of phytase (treatments 1–6) were observed for BW gain (P = 0.002) and feed conversion in broilers (P = 0.018), whereas feed intake increased log-linearly (P = 0.045). The addition of 40,500 FTU/kg of phytase increased cumulative BW gain (P = 0.001) and decreased cumulative feed conversion (P = 0.005) by 4.7 and 2.6%, respectively, compared with birds subjected to treatment 8. Log-quadratic effects of phytase additions were observed for carcass (P < 0.001) and breast meat weights (P = 0.004). Growth performance and carcass characteristics of broilers subjected to treatment 7 were similar (P > 0.05) to those of birds subjected to treatment 8. These data demonstrate that the extraphosphoric effects of phytase may be associated with increased feed intake of broilers. Inositol supplementation did not provide additional benefits to broilers in this study.

Abstract
Three experiments were conducted to determine phosphorus (P) digestibility and bioavailability using different methods. The objective of the first experiment was to determine ileal P digestibility of soybean meal (SBM), meat and bone meal (MBM), and spray-dried plasma protein (SDPP) using a precision-fed broiler chick assay. This assay involved feeding 8 g of SBM, MBM, or SDPP to broiler chicks at 21 D of age. At 6 h after feeding, ileal digesta were collected. Ileal P digestibility of SBM, MBM, and SDPP was 64, 42, and 94%, respectively. In the second experiment, ileal P digestibility and excreta P retention of SBM, SDPP, and MBM were determined using an ad libitum fed chick assay. On day 17 of age, chicks were placed on 1 of 12 dietary treatments that consisted of diets containing increasing levels of SBM, SDPP, or MBM. On day 21, ileal digesta and excreta were collected. True ileal P digestibility and true excreta P retention estimated using regression of ileal P or excreta P output on dietary P content yielded true ileal P digestibility values for SBM, SDPP, and MBM (2 diet methods for MBM) to be 83, 98, 61, and 23%, respectively. True excreta P retention values for SBM, SDPP, and MBM (2 methods) were determined to be 51, 99, 32, and 53%, respectively. The third experiment determined bioavailability of P in SBM, SDPP, and MBM relative to KH2PO4 using a chick bone ash bioassay. Dietary treatments included a P-deficient cornstarch-dextrose-SBM diet supplemented with 2 increasing levels of P from KH2PO4, SBM, SDPP, or MBM. Bioavailability of P based on tibia ash estimated using the multiple regression slope ratio method was 36, 125, and 76% for SBM, SDPP, and MBM, respectively, relative to KH2PO4. The results of this study indicated the digestibility/relative bioavailability of the P in SDPP was very high for all 3 methods, but values for SBM and MBM varied greatly among different methods.

Abstract
A total of 945 male Ross 308 broiler chicks were used in a growth study to explore the interaction between dietary crude protein concentration and available phosphorus. Nine experimental treatments were constructed factorially by offering low, medium, or standard protein concentrations without or with low, standard, or high available phosphorus. Diets were based on corn, wheat, and soybean meal and all nutrients other than protein/amino acids and available phosphorus were maintained at or above breeder guidelines. Additional synthetic amino acids were used in the diets with low protein concentration in attempt to maintain digestible amino acid supply. Diets were offered to 7 replicate pens of 15 chicks per pen from day 8 to 35. Growth performance was measured during the grower (day 8-24) and finisher (day 25-35) periods. On day 35 carcass composition was determined, blood was drawn for various biochemical measurements and the tibia was excised for mechanical and compositional analyses. Birds that received the low-protein diet had lower terminal body weight and higher feed conversion ratio compared with those that received diets with adequate crude protein content. However, addition of available phosphorus to the low-protein diet resulted in significant reductions in weight-corrected feed conversion that were not evident in the diet with adequate protein content. Bone architecture was only moderately influenced by dietary treatment but birds that ingested the diets containing low and medium protein concentrations had relatively heavier abdominal fat pad weight. Blood biochemistry, especially ammonia, uric acid, and phosphorus, was influenced by both dietary protein and available phosphorus and trends suggested that both axes are involved in protein accretion and catabolism. It can be concluded that performance losses associated with feeding low protein diets to broiler chickens may be partially restored by additional available phosphorus. The implications for use of exogenous enzymes such as protease and phytase and protein nutrition per se warrants further examination.

Abstract
The objective was to determine phytase effects on prececal amino acid (AA) digestibility and phytate (InsP6) breakdown when different oilseed meals were used in broiler chicken diets. The study included 14 diets: a corn-soybean meal (SBM) basal diet and 6 diets that contained SBM, rapeseed meal (RSM), and sunflower meal (SFM) with 2 inclusion levels at the expense of corn starch (150 and 300 g/kg SBM or SFM, or 100 and 200 g/kg RSM). Each diet was mixed with or without a phytase supplement of 1,500 FTU/kg. Diets were provided to broilers for 5 D. Digesta from the posterior half of the ileum were collected on day 21. The average essential AA digestibility, calculated by a regression approach, without and with phytase was 84 and 85% (SBM), 74 and 77% (SFM), and 66 and 73% (RSM), respectively. In the diets, phytase effects on AA digestibility were lower owing to other protein sources also present in the diet, but significant. Prececal InsP6 disappearance was significantly affected by interactions between oilseed meal, inclusion level, and phytase supplementation. Overall, prececal InsP6 disappearance was higher in SBM diets (52%) than in SFM diets (38%) and intermediate in RSM diets (43%). Across diets, phytase supplementation effects on prececal InsP6 degradation linearly increased with the InsP6 concentration of the diet up to 12 g/kg DM. The only exception from linearity was the diet with the high inclusion of SFM, which contained 15.9 g InsP6/kg DM. In the ileal content, the concentration of myo-inositol was significantly increased by phytase supplementation, and this effect was highest in the diets that contained SBM as the only oilseed meal. Concentrations of lower inositol phosphates were increased by phytase supplementation, and this effect was most remarkable for Ins(1,2,3,4)P4 and inositol tetrakisphosphates. The study showed that phytase effects on AA digestibility varied among the 3 tested oilseed meals, but these differences were not detectable in the diets containing these meals. Although phytase effects on ileal content of InsP6 and its degradation products were substantial, they were not related to the effects on AA digestibility.

Abstract
The use of digestible nutrient values for feedstuffs and non-ruminant diets has resulted in significant improvements in ingredient utilisation, pig and poultry performance and efficiency, and reduced feed costs and environmental waste. The use of exogenous enzymes such as carbohydrases, phytases and proteases in non-ruminant diets has also had a profound effect on meat production, feed efficiency and reduced environmental waste through an improvement in nutrient digestibility. However, the use of nutrient digestibility in the absence of animal growth or efficiency, on individual feed ingredients or complete diets, as an estimate of exogenous enzyme efficacy requires careful consideration. Numerous studies have highlighted a range of factors that will influence the estimated digestibility coefficients. These include but are not limited to: differences in methods employed, the use of a point-in-time measure of nutrient digestion versus growth over the lifetime of the chicken or pig, adjustment (or not) for endogenous losses, age of the animal, production status and nutritional status of the diet. These factors can also be influenced by or have an influence on exogenous enzyme efficacy to yield positive, negative, non-significant, or inconclusive effects on nutrient digestion. In addition, exogenous enzyme supplementation of diets has resulted in improvements in nutrient digestibility in the absence of an effect on productivity or efficiency or vice versa. Therefore, the use of nutrient digestibility as a response variable for exogenous enzyme efficacy is informative but only in the presence of growth performance, intake, or meat yield.

Abstract
Background There is good evidence for a substantial endogenous phytase activity originating from the epithelial tissue or the microbiota resident in the digestive tract of broiler chickens. However, ionophore coccidiostats, which are frequently used as feed additives in broiler diets to prevent coccidiosis, might affect the bacterial composition and the abundance of phytase producers in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether supplementation of a frequently used mixture of the coccidiostats Narasin and Nicarbazin alone or together with a phytase affects microbiota composition of the digestive tract of broiler chickens, characteristics of phytate breakdown in crop and terminal ileum, and precaecal phosphorus and crude protein digestibility. Results Large differences in the microbial composition and diversity were detected between the treatments with and without coccidiostat supplementation. Disappearance of myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis(dihydrogen phosphate) (InsP6) in the digestive tract, precaecal P digestibility, inorganic P in blood serum, and the concentration of inositol phosphate isomers in the crop and ileum digesta were significantly affected by phytase supplementation, but not by coccidiostat supplementation. Crude protein digestibility was increased by coccidiostat supplementation when more phosphate was available. Neither microbial abundance and diversity nor any other trait measured at the end of the experiment was affected by coccidiostat when it was only supplemented from day 1 to 10 of age. Conclusions The coccidiostats used herein had large effects on overall microbiota composition of the digestive tract. The coccidiostats did not seem to affect endogenous or exogenous phytase activity up to the terminal ileum of broiler chickens. The effects of phytase on growth, phosphorus digestibility, and myo-inositol release were not altered by the presence of the coccidiostats. The effects of phytase and coccidiostats on nutrient digestibility can be of significant relevance for phosphorus and protein-reduced feeding concepts if confirmed in further experiments.

Phytate degradation and phosphorus digestibility in broilers and turkeys fed different corn sources with or without added phytase. Poult Sci 2019; 98:912-922.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to test whether different dietary corn sources and phytase supplementation affect the prececal phosphorus digestibility (pcdP) and appearance of inositol phosphates in the lower ileum of growing broiler chickens and turkeys. Two experiments were conducted, one with broiler chickens and one with turkeys. Four corn diets were provided; these were formulated to contain low P and calcium (Ca) contents and incorporated 43% of one of the four different corn sources. Diets were either unsupplemented or supplemented with 500 FTU of an Escherichia coli-derived phytase/kg feed. Experimental diets were fed ad libitum from day 20 post-hatch. At 28 d of age, digesta were sampled from the lower ileum of animals to determine pcdP and pc myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis (dihydrogen phosphate) (InsP6) degradation and to analyze the concentrations of lower inositol phosphate isomers. The pcdP of non-supplemented diets ranged from 51 to 60% and from 22 to 28% in broilers and turkeys, respectively. A negative correlation was observed between the InsP6 content of the corn source and the pcdP of diets in broilers only. Without phytase supplementation, pc InsP6 degradation ranged from 64 to 76% in broilers and from 6 to 15% in turkeys. Phytase increased the pcdP by around 15% in broilers (P < 0.001) and 9 to 17% in turkeys (P < 0.001). In turkeys, phytase efficacy was greatest when the diets contained corn with higher contents of ether extract and InsP6. An effect of corn source on the appearance of lower InsPs in the ileal digesta was found in broilers only. These results suggest that broilers possess a greater capacity for InsP6 degradation and hydrolysis of lower InsPs compared with turkeys. Furthermore, the results are influenced by the corn source used. Further research is needed to identify the factors responsible for the low level of phytate degradation in turkeys in order to improve the availability of InsP6-P and the efficacy of phytase.

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted, using the regression method, to determine the true ileal phosphorus (P) digestibility of maize and soybean meal (SBM), and true ileal calcium (Ca) digestibility of SBM for broiler chickens. The aim of Experiment 1 was to determine true ileal P digestibility of maize and SBM. The experimental diets were formulated with four inclusion levels of each test ingredient to achieve graded concentrations of total P (2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 g/kg, respectively). The P concentrations in maize-based diets were adjusted by the inclusion of monosodium phosphate. The Ca:total P ratio in all diets was maintained at 1.35 by the addition of limestone. Experiment 2 was conducted to determine true ileal Ca digestibility of SBM. Experimental diets were formulated to contain four levels of SBM to achieve graded concentrations of Ca (2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 g/kg, respectively). Because of the low concentration of Ca in SBM, all diets were supplemented with a similar level of limestone to prevent any Ca deficiency. The Ca:total P ratio in all diets was adjusted to be equal by the addition of monosodium phosphate. In both experiments, titanium dioxide (3 g/kg) was used as the indigestible marker. One-day-old male broiler chicks were fed a commercial starter diet from 1 to 21 days of age. On Day 22, a total of 240 and 120 birds were assigned to eight and four dietary treatments in Experiments 1 and 2, respectively, with five replicate cages and six birds per cage. Birds were fed the experimental diets for 7 days. On Day 29, ileal digesta were collected from the posterior half of ileum, and the true P and Ca digestibility of test ingredients were calculated by linear regression analysis. True P digestibility of maize and SBM were determined to be 33.8% and 42.3%, respectively. True Ca digestibility of SBM was determined to be 45.9%.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of phytase and a combination of phytase and xylanase on the prececal phosphorus digestibility (pcdP) of wheat-based diets in turkeys. A low-P basal diet (BD) based on cornstarch and soybean meal, and 2 diets containing 43% of different wheat genotypes (genotype diets GD6 or GD7) were fed to turkeys from 20 to 27 d of age. Diets were fed either without enzyme supplementation or supplemented with phytase (500 FTU/kg) or a combination of phytase and xylanase (16,000 BXU/kg). At 27 d of age, digesta were sampled from the lower ileum of animals to determine pcdP and pc myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis (dihydrogen phosphate) (InsP6) disappearance, and to analyze the concentrations of lower inositol phosphate isomers. Similar pcdP was observed in non-supplemented BD and GD (∼36%). Phytase alone increased the pcdP in all diets by 8 to 12%, but a beneficial effect of xylanase was found only for BD. Similar results were found for pc InsP6 disappearance, although xylanase addition compared to phytase alone decreased pc InsP6 disappearance in GD7 compared to phytase alone. Animals fed GD7 performed better than those fed GD6; however, these differences could not be linked to the pcdP. The pattern of lower inositol phosphates in digesta also changed with enzyme supplementation, resulting in lower proportions of InsP5 and higher proportions of InsP4. Phytase alone decreased Ins(1,2,3,4,6)P5 but increased D-Ins(1,2,3,4,5)P5 and D-Ins(1,2,5,6)P4 concentrations. An additional increase in D-Ins(1,2,3,4,5)P5 and D-Ins(1,2,5,6)P4 concentrations was achieved with xylanase, although for the former isomer, this was observed only with GD. These results indicate that enzyme supplementation alters the pc degradation of InsP6, and that combining both enzymes had a minor additional effect on the pcdP from wheat-based diets when compared to phytase alone.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) are important nutrients in poultry diet formulations. In the present review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the metabolism of Ca and P in poultry. Recent data are provided in support of the proposition that current poultry diets are formulated in excess for Ca and P. The quantities of Ca and P available for metabolism reflect rates of intestinal absorption, bone accretion and resorption, glomerular filtration, renal tubular reabsorption, and intestinal endogenous losses. Ca and P homeostasis is largely under endocrine control. Parathyroid hormone and the hormonal form of vitamin D3 are the two hormones credited with this role. However, a novel hormonal axis involving Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 and Klotho has been recently delineated, which, in conjunction with parathyroid hormone and vitamin D3, tightly regulates Ca and P homeostasis. Recent studies have suggested that current commercial diets for both broilers and layers contain excess Ca and P, the content of which could be reduced without affecting production or bird welfare. The challenge in reducing Ca and P concentrations in poultry diets is the uncertainty about what concentrations of Ca and P can be fed without compromising bird welfare. This is because there are limited data on the available P and Ca concentrations in poultry feedstuffs determined biologically. This is further complicated by the need for agreement on evaluation systems for evaluation of Ca and P bioavailability. We conclude that direct ileal or pre-caecal digestible Ca and P values are preferred.
