The main anti-nutritional effect of phytate is that it makes phytate phosphorus unavailable for digestion and absorption by nonruminants such as swine and poultry. Phytate also has negative effects on digestive enzymes, trace minerals, calcium, protein and amino acids, and carbohydrates. http://text.lsuagcenter.com/en/communications/publications/agmag/Archive/2004/Fall/Adding+Phytase+Proves+Positive+for+Poultry+Swine+Diet.htm web@agcenter.lsu.edu (LSU AgCenter) http://text.lsuagcenter.com/NR/rdonlyres/EE4002F0-E7A7-49AC-80F0-F6D5205889C6/3504/pigletsDSCF0625.jpg
