1 Phytic acid increases mucin and endogenous amino acid losses from the gastrointestinal tract of chickens. Phytic Acid mucin 2, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming Gallus gallus
2 The influence of the form of phytic acid on the regulation of mucin and endogenous losses of amino acids, nitrogen and energy in chickens was investigated. Phytic Acid mucin 2, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming Gallus gallus
3 Chickens fed either magnesium-potassium phytate or free phytic acid showed increased (P < 0.05) loss of crude mucin and sialic acid. Phytic Acid mucin 2, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming Gallus gallus
4 The amount of crude mucin lost was significantly greater (P < 0.05) with magnesium-potassium phytate than with free phytic acid treatment. Phytic Acid mucin 2, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming Gallus gallus
5 In conclusion, the form of phytic acid fed to chickens affects the extent of mucin and endogenous amino acid losses from the gastrointestinal tract. Phytic Acid mucin 2, oligomeric mucus/gel-forming Gallus gallus
