Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Phytate is largely unavailable to monogastric animal such as swine, poultry and fish, as they lack of sufficient endogenous enzymatic activity to hydrolyze phytate. The result is the elimination of precious nutrients that would be beneficial to their growth; furthermore, they will excrete most of the indigestive phytate which can contribute to phos
