Phosphorus and the animal diet
Phosphorus vitally important for bone and tissue growth
Phosphorus (organic) stored in phytate and found in corn and soybean oil – animal feeds
Phytic acid not readily digestible by monogastric animals
Must add supplementary mineral phosphorus
Expensive, replaces other valuable nutrients,increases phosphorus in waste, causes pollution.
Phytate (myo-inositol hexaphosphate) is the principal storage form of phosphorus in plant seeds
Considered an anti-nutrient -Chelates essential dietary minerals such as calcium, iron, copper, and zinc
Phosphorus in phytate is nutritionally unavailable to monogastric animals
To provide adequate dietary phosphorus to animals, inorganic phosphates are added to formulated animal feeds

Limitations of conventional phytases
Animal feed is commonly formed into pellets, a manufacturing process that requires moisture and heat. Most phytases are unstable under normal temperature pelleting conditions and must be applied either with a protective coating before pelleting or post-pelleting by liquid application.
Can result in sub-optimal feed and inconsistent animal performance.
