IPS was a unique interactive technical symposium involving many of the world’s leading academic authorities in the field of phytase and phytate in animal nutrition. It was jointly hosted by Massey University, The University of Maryland, The University of Sydney and AB Vista. Discussion topics ranged from the analysis of phytate and phytase, to skeletal integrity and the future of phytase use in animal nutrition. Aaron Cowieson, Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, said: “The Proceedings of the 1st International Phytase Summit crystallises cutting edge knowledge from global opinion leaders in phytate and phytase biotechnology. This unique publication is an invaluable source of insight into the remarkable opportunities presented by emerging phytase technology.”
