A lack of standardised methods for measuring activity in enzyme products and finished feeds is making feed enzyme use more complex than it needs to be. Adopting a "single currency" of enzyme activity will make understanding and using feed enzymes muc...

There are four main strategies in tackling the problem of phytate in cereal grains. To date, only phytase addition to feed has attained serious commercial success. Two have focused on the development of phytase-containing or low-phytate seeds. One no...

Why are enzymes so widely used in the feed industry? What progress can be made in the application of these enzymes? What new developments can be expected in this field? The right balance between our current state of knowledge about enzymes modes of a...

Aquaculture requires the same high nutritional standards as does the production of other species - and in environmental terms even more so. New research demonstrates the benefits of phytase in achieving premium quality plant-based aquafeeds with mini...
