Diets fed to nonruminant animals are composed mainly of feed ingredients of plant origin. A
variety of antinutritional factors such as phytin, nonstarch polysaccharides, and protease …

Phytate is the main storage form of phosphorus (P) in many plants, but phytate-bound P is
not available to monogastric or agastric fish animals. Phytase, an enzyme specific to …

Modern aquaculture must be sustainable in terms of energy consumption, raw materials
used, and environmental impact, so alternatives are needed to replace fish feed with other …

The concept of functional aquafeeds represents an evolving concept for fish and
crustaceans diets. In the design of functional feeds, a wide range of feed additives can be …

A 2× 2× 2 factorial experiment was designed to study the main effect of dietary microbial
phytase, citric acid, crude protein (CP) level and their interactions on growth performance …

Phytases (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolases) hydrolyze the phosphate
ester bonds of phytate-releasing phosphate and lower myo-inositol phosphates and/or myo …

Global aquaculture production (including aquatic plants) stands at 110.2 million tonnes, with
the firstsale value estimated at USD 243.5 billion. The total production included 80.0 million …

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of organic acid and
phytase on the digestibility coefficients, growth performance, body composition, vertebral …

Two trials were carried out to determine the optimal replacement level of fish meal (FM) by
soy protein concentrate (SPC) derived from soymilk without supplementation of …

Fungal phytases are histidine acid phosphatases, a subclass of acid phosphatases, which
catalyse the hydrolysis of phytic acid resulting in the release of phosphate moieties and thus …
