All animals were restrictively fed one of four experimental diets: control diet (CC) without any supplementation, control diet with 0.5% benzoic acid (CB), phytase diet (750 IU\/kg,) without benzoic acid (PhyC) and phytase diet with 0.5% benzoic acid (PhyB). Total P (digestible P) content of the control diets was 4 g\/kg (1.43 g\/kg). In the grower period a negative interaction of benzoic acid\u00d7phytase on apparent crude protein and energy digestibility was observed. In the finisher period both additives increased digestibility of P by 12%. Phytase improved Ca digestibility in both fattening periods (+13%). In the finisher period an interaction of benzoic acid\u00d7phytase reduced Ca digestibility from 0.62 in diet PhyC to 0.54 in diet PhyB. The results of this study indicate that the combination of benzoic acid and phytase in P reduced diets can adversely affect apparent nutrient and mineral digestibility. So far, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information the full article can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.journals.elsevierhealth.com\/periodicals\/livsci\">http:\/\/www.journals.elsevierhealth.com\/periodicals\/livsci<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a study with 32 growing\u2013finishing crossbred gilts (26\u2013109 kg BW) the effects of benzoic acid and phytase (Peniophora lycii) on nutrient digestibility in P reduced diets was examined.
