INOSITOL PRODUCTION CRITICAL TO PHYTASE SUPERDOSING RESPONSE
According to the latest research, up to 30% of the performance response seen in broilers following phytase superdosing may be due to the beneficial effects of the inositol released following complete phytate degradation. Inositol is produced when all six of the phosphate (P) ions contained within phytate, otherwise known as inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), have been stripped away by the combined action of phytase and endogenous phosphatases. The resulting inositol appears critical to successful superdosing, and its production relies heavily on achieving greater than 85% destruction of both
