Poultry Feed

[Jeffery Escobar]

I have formulated many feeds without phytase without any issues. As long as the amounts of calcium and available phosphorus are known for all ingredients and the diet is formulated to meet the needs of birds, they should perform just fine. Phytase is mainly used because it is cost effective and reduces the excretion of phosphorus in excreta, which is good for the environment.

phytse usage for cost effective feed formulation

Yes, formulating feed without phytase and using excessive limestone and dicalcium phosphate (DCP) or mono-dicalcium phosphate (MCP) can lead to mineral imbalances and potentially contribute to the formation of stones in poultry. Higher levels of calcium and phosphorus without adequate phytate breakdown may result in excess mineral accumulation, increasing the risk of kidney stones or other health issues.

Yes, formulating poultry feed without phytase and compensating with higher levels of limestone (calcium source) and DCP/MCP (phosphorus sources) can increase the risk of stones (urolithiasis or kidney stones) in birds
