Summary: | The reduction of the available phosphorus ([sub.av]P) content in the broiler diet must be followed by the supplementation of adequate phytase. One experiment was conducted with broilers from 15 to 28 days of age to determine the level of necessary phytase when the mashed diet is formulated with 0.213% of [sub.av]P to enable the results of performance, tibia ash content, and calcium (Ca) utilization similar to those determined for birds fed with diet formulated to meet their nutritional requirements. Thus, 120 broilers were distributed in (4+1) x2 factorial arrangement corresponding to four deficient diets in [sub.av]P (0.213%) supplemented with phytase (0; 750; 1,500 or 2,250FTU [kg.sup.-1]) plus one positive control diet without phytase (0.426% of [sub.av]P), supplied to male and female broilers. Males showed better performance and higher [sub.total]P retention. Decrease in the [sub.av]P content of the diet without phytase use worsened the performance, tibia ash content, and Ca retention; however, these parameters were improved gradually with the increase of the phytase level in the diet. Regardless of sex, using 2,250FTU [kg.sup.-1], it is possible to reduce the [sub.av]P to 0.213% without impairing performance, tibia ash content, and Ca retention; in addition to reducing the [sub.tota]P excretion in 56.75% and improving its utilization in 38.58%. Key words: aviculture, bone ash, enzyme, metabolism, performance, phytate. A reducao do teor de fosforo disponivel ([P.sub.disp] na dieta de frangos deve ser acompanhada de adequada suplementacao da fitase. Um experimento foi conduzido com frangos de corte, no periodo de 15 a 28 dias de idade, para determinar o nivel de fitase necessario quando a racao farelada e formulada com 0,213% de [P.sub.disp] para permitir resultados de desempenho, teor de cinzas na tibia e aproveitamento do calcio (Ca) semelhantes ao determinado para aves alimentadas com uma dieta formulada para atender suas exigencias nutricionais. Desse modo, 120 frangos foram distribuidos em esquema fatorial (4+1) x2, correspondendo a quatro racoes deficientes em [P.sub.disp] (0,213%) suplementadas com fitase (0; 750; 1.500 ou 2.250FTU [kg.sup.-1]) mais uma racao controle positivo sem fitase (0,426% de [P.sub.disp]), fornecidas a frangos machos e femeas. Os machos apresentaram melhor desempenho e maior retencao de [P.sub.total]. A reducao do teor de [P.sub.disp] da dieta sem o uso de fitase piorou o desempenho, o teor de cinzas osseas e a retencao do Ca, todavia, esses parametros foram gradativamente melhorados com o aumento do nivel de fitase na racao. Independente do sexo, ao utilizar 2.250FTU [kg.sup.-1], e possivel reduzir o teor de [P.sub.disp] para 0,213% sem prejudicar o desempenho, teor de cinzas na tibia e a retencao do Ca, alem de reduzir a excrecao do [P.sub.total] em 56,75% e melhorar seu aproveitamento em 38,58%.
