Phytase
Colloidal Gold · GMO · PHY
Phytase, sourced from various microorganisms, is commonly integrated into GMO crops like maize and soybeans. It enhances phosphorus availability in animal feed by breaking down phytic acid, benefiting monogastric animals such as poultry and swine. This inclusion reduces the need for supplemental phosphorus, lowering feed costs and environmental concerns related to phosphorus excretion. Improved phosphorus utilization also enhances animal health and productivity. Moreover, phytase-expressing GMOs promote sustainable agriculture by reducing reliance on finite inorganic phosphorus fertilizers, mitigating environmental impacts like water eutrophication. In summary, phytase in GMOs offers opportunities for enhanced feed efficiency, environmental sustainability, and improved animal production practices, though ongoing research is crucial for understanding its long-term effects.

PHY RAPID TESTS QUICK GUIDE
Determine Number and Size of Sub-samples
To extract seed:
-
A single seed sample can be ground up and then extracted with water in a tube. The sample preparation is a crucial procedure for the proper function of the test. The ratio of water in milliliters (ml) to the weight of the seed sample (g) should be close to 10:1. Seal the tube cap and shake the tube gently for 15-25 seconds. Allow the solid material to settle to the bottom of the tube. Once the solid material has settled, the sample will be ready for testing.
To extract leaf tissue:
-
Take 1-inch x 1-inch leaf punches from the sample leaf tissue; push the leaf punches into the tube by a pestle. Squeeze 10 drops of water into tube and grind the tissue using the pestle.
