Improve iron status of piglets with phytase

Phytases do interact with many other ingredients in pig feed – effects on zinc and phosphorus are well-known. Recent research also indicates that iron levels can also be positively affected when applying the right amount of phytase. With today’s sows producing more pigs per litter, it is not uncommon to see lower average weaning weights as a consequence. Improving post-weaning pig performance is still a key focus of pig production systems and one area of interest that is worth investigating
