| Abstract | A total of 180, 18-d crossbred pigs (GAP English Belle × Duroc) with BW of 7.0 ± 1.1 kg were randomly allotted to 6 treatments with 5 replicate pens/treatment for 3 phases with 11, 11 and 12 d in each feeding phase, respectively. Six corn-soybean meal mash diets were formulated: a positive control (PC) diet (0.32% available P (aP); met NRC, 1998 recommendations), a negative control (NC) diet with approximately 10% reduction of aP (0.28% aP), NC + 200 FTU/kg Quantum (QP: E. coli phytase expressed in Pichia pastoris), NC + 500 FTU/kg QP, NC + 1,250 FTU/kg QP, and NC + 500 FTU/kg Natuphos (NP; fungal phytase expressed in Aspergillus niger). On d 42, 9 pigs from each treatment were randomly selected and euthanized for metatarsal collection to measure breaking strength and to determine ash and P content. Ash and P content of the metatarsal bone was not different among the dietary treatments. However, sex influenced (P < 0.01) metatarsal ash, and P content. In general, the average ash and P content of both fresh and dry metatarsal bone in female pigs was higher (P < 0.05) than in male pigs. There were no differences (P > 0.05) for the P content per unit of ash among the dietary treatments or between sexes. The metatarsal bone breaking strength was reduced (P < 0.05) in pigs fed the NC diet compared with pigs fed the PC diet or pigs fed the NC + 1,250 FTU/ kg QP or NC + 500 FTU/kg NP. There were no other differences in bone breaking strength between the dietary treatments. In conclusion, Quantum supplementation at 1,250 FTU/kg and Natuphos at 500 FTU/ kg improved the bioavailability of P. In addition, metatarsal P content was higher in female pigs than male pigs. |
