Hello Alvaro:In this study, we made the decision to use an available P level that would be based on a consistent standard - the breed management guide. Arguments can be made (and I make this argument on a regular basis) that in general, management guides recommend available P well in excess of the actual hen requirements. However, the guide is a consistent standard or point of reference. In our cu ...

SummaryThe short-term study was conducted to test the effects of phytase supplementation in laying hen diets during peak production on bone characteristics as well as phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) digestibility.ProblemA large portion of dietary phosphorus is not utilized by laying hens and is excreted in feces, which leads to phosphorus pollution in the environment. Adding inorganic phosphorus t ...

SummaryThis study was conducted to test the efficacy of phytase in low phosphorus and calcium diets in the late production cycle for maintaining the productivity, eggshell and bone quality of hens fed low phosphorus and calcium.ProblemExogenous phytase supplementation has become a standard practice for poultry diets to liberate available phosphorus and reduce excretion of phosphorus in manure. Man ...

About the studyPhytase supplementation has become a standard practice for poultry diets to enhance phosphorus (P) utilization and subsequently reduce P excretion. Previous phytase studies on hen performance, eggshell and bone quality have been done over short durations and using hens of varying ages.The knowledge gap is that there are no long-term phytase studies covering the rearing period throug ...

Mike Stahl Hi Mike, good to hear from you. Feed intake ranged from 97 to 113 g per bird per day. If you have the original paper, this information can be found in Table 3. We didn't report feed intake before and after the trial, other than to make sure the birds were eating and producing well before the start of the trial. If you don't have the original paper, you can send me an email at doug.k ...

David Wicker Ph. D. Those are very good points and highlight the difficulty of taking results obtained in small scale research (where we can expect a proportion of birds - i.e. the negative control - to show the ill effects of the challenge) and attempting to learn what works in the field (where the loss of productivity would be unacceptable).
