| Research Abstract |
Phytic acid (myo-inositol hexakis dihydrogen phosphate; IP6; Phytate) is the main storage form of phosphorus (P) in cereals, which used for feedstuffs to livestock. However, P form IP6 is not available to non-ruminant animals such as pigs and poultries as they lack effective endogenous enzymes for the hydrolysis of IP6. As a result of the poor bioavailability of P, non-ruminant animals excrete a major fraction of seed P they consume and the resulting animal waste P can contribute to water pollution. And, to make up for the deficiency of P, inorganic-P derived from finite phosphate rock reserves is added to feedstuffs. In order to solve the problems associated with phytate, in this study, low-phytate soybean genotypes which reduced the amount of phytate and increase available P in the seed was breeding. The low-phytate soybean was investigated whether effective to reduce P excretion by non-ruminant animals for establishing a technique of leading to savings of phosphate resources.
