BOARD-INVITED REVIEW: opportunities and challenges in using exogenous enzymes to improve nonruminant animal production.

TL;DR: The future of enzymes in nonruminant animal production is promising and will likely include an understanding of the role of enzyme supplementation in promoting health as well as how enzymes may modulate gene functions.

Phytate: impact on environment and human nutrition. A challenge for molecular breeding

TL;DR: Biochemical data for purified and characterized phytases isolated from more than 23 plant species are presented, the dephosphorylation pathways of phytic acid by different classes ofphytases are compared, and the application of phytase in food and feed is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental impact of aquaculture and countermeasures to aquaculture pollution in China

TL;DR: The traditional procedures for aquaculture waste treatment, mainly based on physical and chemical means, should be overcome by more site-specific approaches, taking into account the characteristics and resistibility of the aquatic environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytase in non-ruminant animal nutrition: a critical review on phytase activities in the gastrointestinal tract and influencing factors.

TL;DR: A phytase that works over a wide range of pH values and is active in the stomach and upper intestine (along with several other characteristics and in addition to being refractory to endogenous enzymes) would be ideal.

Phytate and phytase in fish nutrition

TL;DR: Effects of phytate on fish, dephytinisation processes, phytase and pathway forphytate degradation,phytase production systems, mode ofPhytase application, bioefficacy of phyllase, effects of Phytase on growth performance, nutrient utilization and aquatic environment pollution, and optimum dosage of phydase in fish diets are discussed.

Antinutritional factors present in plant-derived alternate fish feed ingredients and their effects in fish

TL;DR: The use of plant-derived materials such as legume seeds, different types of oilseed cake, leaf meals, leaf protein concentrates, and root tuber meals as fish feed ingredients is limited by the presence of a wide variety of antinutritional substances.

Improvement of phosphorus availability by microbial phytase in broilers and pigs.

TL;DR: When microbial phytase was added to low-P diets for broilers the availability of P increased to over 60% and the amount of P in the droppings decreased by 50%, and the growth rate and feed conversion ratio were comparable to or even better than those obtained on control diets.

Microbial phytase in poultry nutrition

TL;DR: There is a distinct possibility that phytate negatively influences protein and energy utilisation in poultry and, as these influences would be ameliorated by phytase, there are substantial, practical implications.

Total phosphorus, phytate-phosphorus and phytase activity in plant feedstuffs

TL;DR: A total of 285 samples representing 51 feedstuffs used in Belgian feed-mills were quantitatively analysed for phytase activity, phytate-P and total P as mentioned in this paper.
