Publication number: 20150208693Abstract: A method of feeding is described. The method comprises feeding a mono-gastric animal with a feed, wherein said feed comprises a phytase, wherein said phytase results in an improvement in one or more of said animal's biophysical characteristics, especially when compared to the equivalent use of Peniophora lycii phytase and/or an E. coli phytase. In particular, the method results in an improvement in said animal's biophysical characteristics as a food source.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2013Publication date: July 30, 2015Inventors: Ceinwen Gilbert, Peter Plumstead, Hagen Klaus Schulze, Stephane Frouel, Alexandre Peron, Guangbing Wu, Shukun Yu
