Phytase is a highly efficient hydrolytic enzyme to release phosphorus in plants,and is widely used in animal husbandry production.It has been proved that low dose phytase has beneficial effects and wide application prospects in animal production and environmental protection.Howev-er,literatures show that superdosing phytase has great promotion effects on the growth potential of pigs,while the research and application of super-dosing phytase are still lacking.This paper summarizes action mechanisms of phytic acid and phytase in recent 20 years,application of superdosing phytase in pig production and other problems in the application process.
