limestoneThe effect of a novel consensus bacterial 6-phytase variant (PhyG) on total tract digestibility (ATTD) of minerals and bone ash was evaluated in pigs fed diets containing medium- and high-solubility limestone (MSL and HSL, 69.6 and 91.7% solubility, respectively, at 5 min, pH 3.0) in a randomized complete block design. For each limestone, eight diets were formulated: an inorganic phosphate-free negative control (NC) based on wheat, corn, soybean-meal, canola-meal and rice-barn [0.18% standardized total tract digestible (STTD) P and 0.59% Ca]; the NC supplemented with 250, 500, 1,000, or 2,000 FTU/kg of PhyG, and; the NC with added monocalcium phosphate (MCP) and limestone to produce three positive controls (0.33, 0.27, and 0.21% STTD P, and 0.75, 0.70, and 0.64% Ca, respectively; PC1, PC2, PC3). In total, 128 pigs (12.8 ± 1.33 kg, 8 pigs/treatment, housed individually) were adapted for 16 d followed by 4 d of fecal collection. Femurs were collected from euthanized pigs on day 21. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with means separation by Tukey’s test, and by factorial analysis (2 x 4: 2 levels of limestone solubility, 4 STTD P levels, and 2 × 5: 2 levels of limestone solubility, 5 PhyG dose levels). Phytase dose-response was analyzed by curve fitting. A consistent negative effect of HSL on ATTD P and Ca was observed in control diets (P < 0.001). Across phytase-supplemented diets, HSL reduced (P < 0.05) ATTD Ca and P (% and g/kg) compared with MSL. Across limestones, increasing phytase dose level increased (P < 0.05) ATTD P exponentially. Limestone solubility had no effect on bone ash, but PhyG linearly increased (P < 0.05) bone ash; 500 FTU/kg or higher maintained bone ash (g/femur) equivalent to PC1. In conclusion, ATTD P and Ca were reduced by a high compared with a medium soluble limestone, but the novel phytase improved ATTD P and Ca independent of limestone solubility.
