Enzymes bring the best out of legumes

When it comes to uniformity of activity, legumes are particularly well suited to the use of exogenous enzymes. Economic feasibility relies on making sure we are fully aware of the nutrients involved and not wasting expensive additives on functions that the animal or bird can handle without help.

Enzymes reduce food poisoning bacteria

Two enzyme products used widely in the poultry industry to improve the digestibility of wheat- and maize-based diets have been found to have additional effects on the numbers of bacteria in the gut of broilers that can cause food poisoning in humans.

Optimal enzyme dose for wheat? Check the feed value first!

Accurately predicting the feed quality of wheat has long been a challenge to poultry feed producers. Wheat quality prediction using near infrared spectroscopy enables feed producers to rapidly and cost effectively measure wheat quality at the feed mill. Danisco offers its services.

Enzyme research and application in balance

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 action and our ability to translate this into effective products for animal nutrition will secure their future.

Comparative feed enzymology- the "single currency" of enzyme activity

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 much simpler.

Feed enzymes for ruminants – from research to field

In modern feeding scenarios, the conditions within the rumen often fall outside the range for maximum fibre digestion by the rumen microflora. A more complete understanding of the mode of action of enzymes will allow development of low-cost enzyme products designed specifically to improve feed digestion in ruminants.

Enzymes, antibiotics and the intestinal microflora

The benefits of enzymes are most apparent when fed in poorly digestible diets to birds facing a large microbial challenge. This usually means that the poorer poultry producers are most likely to be the largest beneficiaries of enzyme use. Once again, a clean university cage trial will not give a result representative of a commercial broiler house.

Are we making the best use of NSPenzymes?

Exogenous enzymes have become a popular tool for releasing nutrients from feed, and there is much scientific literature supporting their use. However, are non-starch polysaccharidedegrading enzymes being exploited to their full potential? Scientists at IRTA think that exploring new diets and new targets may expand the market.

Defining and dealing with nutraceuticals in the US

The term “nutraceutical” does not have any official standing, which opens up a number of questions on the dilemma facing all involved in the industry. Is there a legal definition of a nutraceutical? How do nutraceuticals differ from either a nutrient or a drug? What rules govern their safety and efficacy?

Starch and protein

In my previous entry, I mentioned the OSU Grain Processing Symposium. As of today, the proceedings are still not posted to their website. I will let you know when they are available.
