Reduced concentrations of limestone and monocalcium phosphate in diets without or with microbial phytase did not influence gastric pH, fecal score, or growth performance, but reduced bone ash and serum albumin in weanling pigs
Lagos L, Lee S, Bedford M, Stein H
Transl Anim Sci . 2021 Aug; 5(3):txab115. PMID: 34377950
An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that reducing limestone and monocalcium phosphate in diets for weanling pigs by lowering the concentration of Ca and P or by including...

Quantities of ash, Ca, and P in metacarpals, metatarsals, and tibia are better correlated with total body bone ash in growing pigs than ash, Ca, and P in other bones
Lee S, Lagos L, Bedford M, Stein H
J Anim Sci . 2021 May; 99(6). PMID: 33959745
The objective was to determine correlations between individual bones and total body bone ash to identify the bone that is most representative of total body bone ash in growing pigs....
13.
Formulation of diets for pigs based on a ratio between digestible calcium and digestible phosphorus results in reduced excretion of calcium in urine without affecting retention of calcium and phosphorus compared with formulation based on values for...
Lagos L, Lee S, Bedford M, Stein H
J Anim Sci . 2021 May; 99(5). PMID: 33939802
An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that formulating diets for pigs based on a ratio between standardized total tract digestible (STTD) Ca and STTD P instead of total...

Formulating diets based on digestible calcium instead of total calcium does not affect growth performance or carcass characteristics, but microbial phytase ameliorates bone resorption caused by low calcium in diets fed to pigs from 11 to 130 kg
Lagos L, Lee S, Bedford M, Stein H
J Anim Sci . 2021 Feb; 99(3). PMID: 33624767
An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that the requirement for Ca expressed as a ratio between standardized total tract digestible (STTD) Ca and STTD P obtained in short-term...

Snapshots during the catalytic cycle of a histidine acid phytase reveal an induced-fit structural mechanism
Acquistapace I, Zi Etek M, Li A, Salmon M, Kuhn I, Bedford M, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2021 Jan; 295(51):17724-17737. PMID: 33454010
Highly engineered phytases, which sequentially hydrolyze the hexakisphosphate ester of inositol known as phytic acid, are routinely added to the feeds of monogastric animals to improve phosphate bioavailability. New phytases...

Increasing calcium from deficient to adequate concentration in diets for gestating sows decreases digestibility of phosphorus and reduces serum concentration of a bone resorption biomarker
Lee S, Lagos L, Bedford M, Stein H
J Anim Sci . 2020 Mar; 98(3). PMID: 32150262
The objective of this experiment was to test the hypothesis that the concentration of Ca in diets fed to late gestating sows affects the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and...

The similarity of the effect of carbohydrase or prebiotic supplementation in broilers aged 21 days, fed mixed cereal diets and challenged with coccidiosis infection
Craig A, Khattak F, Hastie P, Bedford M, Olukosi O
PLoS One . 2020 Feb; 15(2):e0229281. PMID: 32092087
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect on growth performance and nutrient utilisation when supplementing diets deficient in energy and protein with carbohydrase enzymes or xylo-oligosaccharide in...

Effect of phytase on intestinal phytate breakdown, plasma inositol concentrations, and glucose transporter type 4 abundance in muscle membranes of weanling pigs1
Lu H, Kuhn I, Bedford M, Whitfield H, Brearley C, Adeola O, et al.
J Anim Sci . 2019 Jul; 97(9):3907-3919. PMID: 31294448
The objective of this present study was to determine the effects of phytase dosing on growth performance, mineral digestibility, phytate breakdown, and the level of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4)...

The effect of carbohydrases or prebiotic oligosaccharides on growth performance, nutrient utilisation and development of small intestine and immune organs in broilers fed nutrient-adequate diets based on either wheat or barley
Craig A, Bedford M, Hastie P, Khattak F, Olukosi O
J Sci Food Agric . 2018 Dec; 99(7):3246-3254. PMID: 30549054
Background: Non-starch polysaccharides are large complex molecules and are found in cereal grains. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of carbohydrase enzymes or prebiotic oligosaccharides on growth performance,...
