- The document discusses advances in understanding how enzyme substrates interact in animal guts and how this can be applied to improve animal nutrition and performance.
- Enzymes can increase the digestion of nutrients like starch, fiber, and protein by hydrolyzing substrates. This makes more nutrients available for absorption in the gut and can ultimately improve growth and feed efficiency.
- The gut microbiome also plays a key role by fermenting undigested fibers to produce energy for the animal in the form of short-chain fatty acids. Enzymes may interact with the microbiome to further increase nutrient availability.

1. The document discusses studies examining the effects of supplemental phytase on protein and amino acid utilization in swine. Some studies found small improvements in protein and amino acid digestibility with phytase addition, while others found no effects.
2. The effects of phytase on nitrogen balance and retention in pigs are inconsistent, with one study finding no effects. Phytase effects may depend on dietary ingredients and phytate levels.
3. More research is needed to fully understand how phytase impacts protein digestion and amino acid availability in pigs, including growth performance studies and evaluations of total tract digestibility.

The document discusses optimizing protein digestion in poultry through the use of exogenous proteases, noting that both endogenous proteins secreted by the bird and undigested dietary proteins leave the ileum undigested. It examines factors that influence protein digestion like diet composition and quality, and endogenous protein sources and recovery. Models are presented that can help predict how diet inputs like crude protein level and amino acid ratios influence the efficacy of adding an exogenous protease supplement to improve protein digestion and bird performance.

Young-Dal Jang presented research on the effects of xylanase and phytase supplementation in high fiber diets for pigs. The research included two experiments:
1. Supplementing xylanase at increasing levels to diets containing phytase, which improved fiber digestibility and energy utilization but did not affect other nutrient digestibility.
2. Supplementing both xylanase and graded levels of phytase, which showed interactions between the enzymes and improved growth performance and nutrient digestibility compared to diets without supplementation. The results indicate xylanase can improve the action of phytase in high fiber diets.

Impact of laying hen nutrition on egg quality. Nys, Y. & Bouvarel, I. Presentation at the DSM customer event: Exploring the benefits of feed carotenoids for egg quality, Village Neuf, 2013.
Knowledge of amino acid (AA) digestibility of feed ingredients is necessary to feed broilers with
properly balanced compound diets. For this reason, more attention has recently been given to the
determination of AA digestibility of ingredients, recognizing that it may vary greatly depending
upon the feed ingredient. The effects of the inclusion of a mono-component serine protease
(Ronozyme® ProAct) on standardized ileal amino acid digestibility (SIAAD) of diets containing wheat
by-products (wheat DDGS (WDDGS) and wheat middlings (WM)) were evaluated in broilers.
- Improvement of SIAAD in the presence of protease is not the same for all AA and varies from one ingredient to another one. The effects of added protease are dependent on feed composition and on intrinsic digestibility of AA (COWIESON and ROOS (2014)).
- Factors such as type and quality of the ingredients, industrial processing and the presence of anti-nutritional substances such as tannins, phytates, trypsin inhibitors in plant species modulate the digestibility in poultry feed and thus the effectiveness of exogenous protease.
-The physiological state of animals (growth or maintenance), feed consumption or the nutritional feed quality could also influence the digestibility values.
3 2011-comparative study of functional properties of commercial and membrane ...Bảo Dung Phan
Membrane processing of yellow pea protein isolates resulted in 28-68% lower phytic acid levels and generally enhanced functional properties compared to a commercial pea protein isolate. The membrane processed isolates had superior solubility, lower viscosity, better heat-induced gel formation, and lower gelling temperatures than the commercial isolate. Membrane purification using ultrafiltration and diafiltration is an effective way to improve the functional qualities of pea protein for use in foods.
This document discusses key factors to consider when selecting feed enzyme products for poultry production. It outlines three main classes of enzymes used in poultry feeds - phytases, carbohydrases, and proteases. When choosing an enzyme product, it is important to evaluate whether the enzyme will improve digestibility of the specific feed formulation, is thermostable for pelleting conditions, and is compatible with other enzymes. The document also stresses selecting enzymes that have proven mechanisms of action and are produced under quality manufacturing standards.
Phytate is a natural dietary content and constitutes 0.4–6.4% (w/w) of most cereals and legumes (Eeckhout and Deaepe, 1994). It is poorly digestible for monogastric animals due to
a lack of effective endogenous phytase (Bitar and Reinhold, 1972). Phytate acts as an antinutritional factor, exerting its effects via a reduction in the solubility, and availability of
phosphorus (P), and to a lesser extent, Ca, Zn, Fe (Nävert et al., 1985; Hallberg et al., 1987; Hurrell et al., 2003). It was also reported that phytate could decrease the utilization of protein,
amino acids and starch. It has been suggested that phytate may bind with starch either directly, via hydrogen bonds, or indirectly, via proteins associated with starch (Thompson,
1988; Rickard and Thompson, 1997). Phytate is also known to inhibit a number of digestive enzymes such as pepsin, alpha-amylase (Deshpande and Cheryan, 1984) and increase mucin
secretion, excretion of endogenous minerals and amino acids in broiler chickens (Liu et al., 2008). Another issue is higher cost of dietary inorganic P which has been increased remarkably in last decade because of shortened phospate sources. Poultry industry has still been growing and reached huge mass production and contribution to environmental pollution has been heightened concerns because of the poor utilization of phytate phosphorus by poultry.

This document provides an overview of recently adopted nutrition concepts in North America presented by R. Dean Boyd. Key points include:
1) Feeding essential fatty acids like linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid to lactating sows to improve reproductive efficiency under heat stress.
2) The increased adoption of net energy systems over metabolizable energy in North America to improve diet formulation accuracy.
3) Strategies to improve pig viability like feeding xylanase and controlling lipid peroxidation in diets, which can impact health and performance.
4) Expanded use of synthetic amino acids in swine diets including newer additions like L-histidine and L-arginine.
Thanks to an extensive research program achieved by its experts in bioengineering and monogastric nutrition, Adisseo found a solution to get more from NSP enzymes.

This document summarizes a case study of pregnancy toxemia in a flock of 320 sheep. Several ewes died or showed clinical signs of metabolic diseases like pregnancy toxemia and hypocalcemia early in lambing season. Blood tests of affected ewes showed hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia, and other abnormalities. The flock's feed had been reformulated to cut costs by substituting lower-cost by-products, resulting in lower pellet intake. Nutritional analysis found the new feed lacked sufficient fermentable carbohydrates for ewes' late pregnancy needs, putting them in severe energy deficit. This negative energy balance led to clinical signs from excessive fat mobilization and liver issues. The changes to the cheaper feed formulation, based

This document discusses enzymes and their role in digestion. It provides information on different types of enzymes including cellulase, protease, lipase, and others.

Maximixing Protein Value: Impact of Enzyme on Poultry Cultivationheru dumadi
The document discusses how protease enzymes can help maximize protein value in poultry cultivation. It notes that protein sources typically make up around 30% of broiler feed costs. Undigested proteins and poor quality soybean meal can negatively impact gut health and bird performance. Protease enzymes can help digest anti-nutritional factors like trypsin inhibitors in soybean meal, improving amino acid digestibility and gut health. This allows producers to formulate diets with alternative, less expensive ingredients while maintaining performance. Using protease can provide savings of $3.28 per ton of feed and improve overall farm profitability.

This document discusses the use of exogenous enzymes in poultry nutrition as an alternative to antibiotics. It provides background on how antibiotics were commonly used but are now banned. Exogenous enzymes are one potential alternative as they can help break down non-starch polysaccharides in feed ingredients like wheat and barley to improve digestibility. The document outlines different types of enzymes and their sources and effects. It summarizes studies looking at how exogenous enzymes can reduce the size of digestive organs and positively impact gut morphology.
This document discusses proteases and their role in digestion in poultry. It begins by explaining that animals must obtain some amino acids from their diet as they lack the necessary enzymes to synthesize them. It then describes how ingested proteins are broken down through digestion involving acid and protease enzymes. The document provides classifications and examples of different types of proteases. It discusses how proteases break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates at different pH levels along the gastrointestinal tract. The document also notes some anti-nutritional factors found in various feed ingredients and how proteases can help degrade them to improve digestibility.
This document discusses precision feeding in dairy cattle. It defines precision feeding as meeting nutrient requirements with maximum precision to ensure efficient and safe production while minimizing environmental pollution. Precision feeding involves phase feeding, with different dietary formulations for early, mid, and late lactation. Key aspects of precision feeding discussed include improving nitrogen use efficiency, reducing methane emissions, and using additives to maintain rumen health and increase nutrient utilization.
This document discusses various types of feed additives used to improve animal growth and feed efficiency. It describes common feed additives like antibiotics, hormones, probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, acids, antioxidants, and flavors. It provides examples of specific additives used and explains their mechanisms of action, including improving nutrient digestibility and availability, modifying gut microflora, enhancing immune response, and altering animal metabolism and growth pathways. The document also notes some potential consequences if certain additives like antibiotics are banned.
Systems Nutrition of the Gut-Liver Axis and the Role of the MicrobiomeNorwich Research Park
This document summarizes a presentation on systems nutrition and the role of the gut-liver axis and microbiome. It discusses how the small intestine plays a key role in early pro-inflammatory disturbances by affecting the gut microbiota and their metabolites. The gut microbiota influences the intestinal and systemic metabolome and host metabolic regulation through transcription factors like PPARγ, FXR, and AHR. Beneficial bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila may lose benefits under certain dietary conditions like heme. Targeting the small intestine and microbiota with foods, bioactives, probiotics or drugs could improve gut and liver health.
This study examined the effects of varying dietary crude protein levels on indices of lipid metabolism and gene expression in broiler chickens. Male broiler chickens were fed diets containing 12%, 21%, or 30% protein, or were subjected to daily changes between 12% and 30% protein. Birds fed higher protein diets (21-30%) had lower rates of in vitro lipogenesis and lower malic enzyme activity compared to those fed lower protein diets (12%). Expression of genes for malic enzyme, fatty acid synthase, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase were constant with 12-21% protein but decreased when fed 30% protein (acute or chronic). The results demonstrate that dietary protein regulates lipid metabolism and gene expression
This document summarizes a presentation on how food structure influences nutrient digestion and bioavailability. It begins with definitions of key concepts like food structure, bioavailability, and bioaccessibility. It then discusses how various structural elements of foods like carbohydrates, proteins and lipids can impact the digestion and absorption of macronutrients. Specific examples are given around how starch structure and cooking methods affect carbohydrate bioavailability. The presentation also examines how food structure influences the bioavailability of micronutrients from plants, focusing on carotenoids, beta-carotene and iron. In vitro and in vivo methods for assessing these impacts are also summarized.
Some enzymes work against anti-nutritional factors (ANF), which are produced by plants, in order to obtain more nutrients from plants for increased animal nutrition.
The correct enzyme (or combination of enzymes) need to be used for the specific target. This depends on the plant cell wall structure. For example, the cell walls of the endosperm of corn is comprised mainly of insloluble arabinoxylans, which means that only xylanases are able to degrade this wall to increase the energy value of corn based diets.
Read the presentation to find out more about the activity of different types of enzymes working alone or together.
This document discusses enzymes used in poultry and ruminant nutrition. It describes how enzymes are proteins that catalyze reactions without being consumed in the process. Exogenous enzymes from sources like bacteria, fungi and yeasts are added to animal feed to help break down nutrients. Specific enzymes discussed include beta-glucanases, xylanases, phytases, amylases and proteases. These enzymes help improve nutrient digestion and absorption, increase growth performance, and reduce nutrient excretion in waste. The document provides details on the chemical nature, modes of action and typical doses of various enzymes used in animal feed supplementation.

1. The document discusses the role of nutrition challenges and sensing mechanisms in adaptation and disease. It summarizes research on how different diets affect gene expression, organ function, and disease development using mouse models.
2. One study found that a weekly alternating diet between calorie restriction and a medium-fat diet in mice protected the liver from fatty liver disease compared to mice fed a constant medium-fat or calorie-restricted diet.
3. The research suggests unsaturated fats may be more efficiently taken up in the small intestine, activating nutrient sensing pathways and preventing organ overload and early disease development, compared to saturated fats.
current trends in research on grain processing technologies SureshRamalingam12
1) The document discusses research on grain processing technologies, including both earlier and recent works.
2) Various grain processing methods are described, including cold, hot, and chemical processing, as well as studies on their effects on health, gene expression, and rumen fermentation.
3) Recent studies show that dry rolling of grains like barley and maize can help prevent acidosis in cattle and improve rumen pH and fermentation compared to grinding.
Global farmed crustacean production has been increasing at much faster rate than major farmed species. It is expected to reach 6.8 million metric tons (MMT) in 2015, of which, 69 percent or 4.7 MMT will be from the marine shrimps (Figures 1A, 1B). In the last 15 years, the production increased six-fold driven more by intensification rather than expansion of the area cultivated.
Distillers grain protein quality for ruminantsFernando Diaz
1) Distillers grains production in the US has increased dramatically from 1 million metric tons in 1996 to over 40 million metric tons in 2016, far outpacing the growth in soybean meal production.
2) There is significant variability in the quality of distillers grains due to differences in fermentation processes across ethanol plants and variability in the grain source.
3) Research has found the protein content of distillers grains that escapes ruminal degradation (RUP) ranges from 59-72% of crude protein, while the amount digested in the intestines (IDP) ranges from 59-77%. The amount of protein available to ruminants (IADP) ranges from 41-49%.
This document discusses different types of enzymes that can be added to animal feeds, including poultry feeds, to improve digestibility and nutrient availability. It describes three main classes of enzymes - phytases, carbohydrases, and proteases. Phytases help release phosphorus from plant ingredients. Carbohydrases like amylase and xylanase improve the digestibility of carbohydrates. Proteases aid in protein digestion. The addition of these enzymes can increase available energy from feeds by 3-5% and improve growth performance in poultry.
While the inclusion of phytases has become almost ubiquitous in monogastric feeding, both to release phosphorus and to reduce the anti-nutritive effect of phytate itself (superdosing), the use of enzymes to tackle issues associated with non-starch polysaccharides (NSP, i.e. fibre) remains the subject of much discussion. There is still no general consensus on how to achieve the greatest benefits with these enzymes, and the potential to incorporate them into a multi-enzyme dosing strategy has only added to the debate.

It provides information on the composition, essential amino acid profiles, manufacturing processes, and advantages of various single cell proteins including bacteria, yeast, fungi and algae. The document notes that single cell proteins have a similar amino acid composition and digestibility as fishmeal and soybean concentrate. It also highlights that single cell proteins can contain nucleotides which are important for various cellular functions and may provide benefits for gut health and immune function when included in animal diets. Inclusion rates of up to 8% in pig and 6% in poultry diets are recommended.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

15. Proteomics - a new tool
Proteomics is the large-scale experimental analysis of proteins present in a
biological sample. It usually relies on the extraction of the proteins from the
sample, their separation, protein digestion, followed by mass spectrometry
analysis
Proteomics has been applied to the study of food or feed protein digestion,
and the terminology “protein digestomics” has been put forward by Picariello
et al, 2013
• Le Gall et al. (2005)
• Identified two proteins in peas, lectin and albumin PA1b, that were
totally resistant to gastric and small intestinal digestion in pigs
• Fisher et al. (2007)
• Identified aggregated peptides of partly degraded β-conglycinin alpha
subunits in the undigested ileal residue of pigs fed soybean meal

Olukosi et al, 2015
21. Some practical implications
Net effects of enzymes on performance are greater in diets
with greater undigested substrates, which normally
correspond to diets with more fibrous ingredients.
Effects of exogenous enzymes on the digestibility of different
energy substrates overlap. Matrices are not additive.
Therefore, it is always better to work with enzymes
combinations with enough knowledge of mode of action and
robust matrices.
