Verbatim
e1“Digestibility of P was 12% higher (P < 0.01) and of CP was 4% higher (P = 0.08) in the high-moisture diet”
e2“The objective was to evaluate the effect of high moisture compared to dry storage of barley and wheat on digestibility of P and CP”

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect High-moisture storage of barley and wheat raised P digestibility by 12% in the diet fed to pigs.
- Intervention effect Dry-stored grain had lower phytase activity than high-moisture stored grain.
- Intervention effect High-moisture stored grain had 4% more phytate P than grain stored dry.
- Recommendation The authors recommend high-moisture air-tight storage because it saved energy by avoiding drying of barley and wheat.
- Mechanism High-moisture air-tight storage enhanced P digestibility of grain, probably through enzymatic activity during storage.
