Phosphorus is one of the most essential inorganic nutrients in the diet. But most of the naturally available Phosphorus in the agro byproducts used in feed is bound to phytic acid hence, making it unavailable for absorption. Phytate may bind to various minerals and amino acids, and reduce their bio-availability. Phytate is also considered as an anti-nutrient for poultry as it reduces protein absorption, mineral absorption and increases mucus production interfering with digestion. Poultry birds lack endogenous enzyme phytase which catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphate groups from phytic acid.
