The digestive dynamics of starch and protein were considered pivotal to broiler performance by LIU and SELLE (2015). Thus, for this reason, a comparison of the impacts of either ‘rapid protein’ or exogenous phytase on starch and protein (N) apparent digestibility coefficients and disappearance rates from four small intestinal segments was made. A rapid protein diet was formulated principally by partially replacing soybean meal in the foundation diet with casein; a blend of both diets constituting an intermediate diet. The foundation diet was supplemented with 250 and 500 FTU/kg phytase activity (Axtra® PHY; Danisco Animal Nutrition) to generate corresponding diets. The intention was to compare linear responses to the two treatment axes for parameters of bird performance including starch and protein digestive dynamics.
