Due to a lack of endogenous phytase enzymes in monogastric animals, exogenous phytases are employed in the animal feed industry. Phytases catalyze the hydrolysis of phytic acid and its salts (phytate) from plant-based animal feed, to supply phosphorus to monogastric animals and decrease the anti-nut...
