ABSTRACT A technique was developed to produce crude microbial phytase (CMPhy) enzyme form Aspergillus niger , with the objective to enhance phytate phosphorus (pP) availability in corn and soybean meal based broiler diets. The results of in vitro experiments showed that CMPhy enzyme was most active at pH 2.0 and 5.0, as it results in the release of about 79.0% to 88.0% inorganic phosphorus (iP) as a percentage of total phosphorus (tP) from ground corn and soybean meal....
