    Zum Einfluß von mikrobieller Phytase und Calcium auf die Blei-, Cadmium und Zinkretention beim wachsenden Schwein
    (1997) Zacharias, Bernhard; Drochner, Winfried
    In the present study the influence of microbial phytase and/or calcium supplementation in rations of growing pigs (15 to 30 kg resp. 50 kg) on the retention of lead, cadmium and zinc in kidneys, liver, muscles and bones was investigated. The rations consisted of a barley-soy mixture supplemented with lead, cadmium and zinc either in the form of Pb-, Cd- and Zn-polluted barley or of CdCl2, Pb(CH3COO)2, and ZnSO4. The rations contained an average of 1,45 mg Pb, 0,78 mg Cd, and 55,7 mg Zn per kg dry matter and were given either with or without an addition of 800 U microbial phytase per kg. Compared to the reference group the addition of microbial phytase resulted in diets with a nomal calcium supply (6 g/kg) to a significant increase in the concentration of lead in the phalanx 1 and cadmium in kidneys and liver. The zinc concentration, however, only was increased in tendency in bones and liver. By augmenting the calcium concentration to 12 g/kg it was possible to avoid phytase-induced increase in the retention of lead in phalanx 1 and in the deposition of cadmium in kidneys and liver. For zinc, however, this effect of calcium could not be detected. The higher lead concentration in liver, kidneys and bones after addition of Pb(CH3COO)2 may be due to the 51 higher dietary Pb level as compared to the normally polluted barley rations. The reduced Cd-accumulation in livers and kidneys after feeding CdCl2 supplemented diets with a high calcium level may be explained by an increased formation of insoluble cadmium-calcium-phytate that cannot be hydrolysed by phytase. For the heavy metals lead, cadmium, and zinc the addition of phytase might probably result in an increased metal availability due to phytase-induced hydrolysis of the phytate complex. The effect of a calcium supply exceeding the recommended level may be explained by a reduction in the solubility of phytate which results in a decreased ability of phytate to be splitted by phytase and therefore leads to a reduced
