Abstract: Cost reduction in animal production has generated wide discussion, especially because of the frequent use of foods containing anti-nutritional factors such as phytate, which impair the bioavailability of nutrients in non-ruminant animals. Addressing this challenge is crucial to ensure efficient and sustainable production. In this context, phytase enzymes stand out as essential tools, catalyzing the breakdown of phytate and increasing the availability of crucial minerals, such as phosphorus, thus improving the absorption of these nutrients by animals. This approach not only benefits the health of animals but also contributes to the economic efficiency of production operations by promoting more sustainable practices. This study aims to highlight the importance of phytase enzymes, covering their production, purification, biochemical characterization, and catalytic properties, providing valuable insights for implementing these enzymes in animal diets and, thus, promoting more sustainable and economically efficient production practices.
