  • This review summarizes the environmentally friendly methods that are available to manage phosphorus (P) excretion. Phase feeding reduces P excretion up to 10–25% by adding precise amounts of P to broiler diets. Increasing of the Ca:P ratio in diets from 1: 1 to 2: 1 decreased the availability of P from phytic acid. Feeding diets supplemented with vitamin D can increase phytin P (PP) utilization from 31–50 to 68–87%. Total P (TP) excretion by poultry may be reduced by up to 50% through the use of supplemental phytase. Reductions in phytic acid P ranging from 50 to 65% with no decreases in TP of the seed were seen in ‘low-phytic acid’ or ‘high-available P’ (HAP) mutants when phytase supplementation was contained in diet. However, total activity of phytase was 35% higher in the small intestine of laying hens because of different pH. And both microbial phytase and lactic acid enhanced the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of ash, Ca and Mg and apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of phytic acid.
