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.
Enzyme technology is an integral tool for the brewing, baking and textile industries. In agriculture there is great potential for enzymes too but this is yet to be fully exploited. However, animal nutrition is one area in which the use of feed enzymes is becoming increasingly important.

Phytogenic feed additives: Keeping pace with trends and challenges in pig pro...Milling and Grain magazine
As the global population and its prosperity are steadily on the rise, the animal protein demand will further increase in the near future. Pig meat is the most consumed meat worldwide among the others, closely followed by poultry. Last year it comprised 38 percent (or 118 Mt) of the total meat consumption whereas poultry meat accounted for 35 percent (or 110 Mt). Though this growing demand is challenged – on the one hand by consumer’s awareness for safe food and on the other hand by sustainable and efficient swine production. At the same time, production costs should be kept as low as possible whilst controlling the high risk of developing drug resistant bacteria for humans due to the use of in-feed antibiotics, as antimicrobial growth promoters (AGP) or as disease treatment. Over the last decades, many feed additives have been developed and evaluated, within which phytogenic (plant derived) substances have attracted much attention.
Advance Protein Powder (APP), created by Advance International, Inc., is a high quality, all natural, marine-based protein powder, which is highly stable, virtually odorless and tasteless and has a nutritional profile superior to other quality protein powders on the market. APP is made using a patent-pending manufacturing process that is both green and sustainable. This report presents an overview of the health benefits of Advance Protein Powder with a comparison of the two most common protein supplement products available: whey and soy.
Zoo-technical performances of weaner rabbits fed Nutryzyme® supplemented dietsAI Publications
The study assessed the zoo-technical performances of weaner rabbits fed Nutrizyme supplement diets. This study aimed at determining the zoo-technical performances of the weaner rabbits fed Nutrizyme supplement diets while we specifically determined the zoo-technical performances, the apparent nutrient digestibility as well as the hematological and serum Biochemical of weaner rabbits fed Nutrizyme supplement diets. Eighteen rabbits were allotted into three dietary treatments with each having three replicates in a completely randomized design format. Each replicate (unit) housed two rabbits. The Nutrizyme powder was incorporated in the diets at 0, 125, and 250 ppm respectively. The parameters appraised include average daily feed intake, feed efficiency, average final weight and the heamatological and serum profiles. All data generated were subjected to analysis of variance using statistical packages for social sciences (SSPM) packages. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in the total weight, average daily weight, average daily feed intake as well as the feed efficiency. Rabbits fed diets 3 (250mg/kg Nutrizyme inclusion) had the best result in terms of the total weight (1068g), average daily (0.25), respectively. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in the digestibility of nutrients among the rabbits as indicated in the results. The crude protein digestibility improved with increased enzyme inclusion in the diets. Rabbits fed the control diet had the least nutrient digestibility. The heamoglobin concentrations, white blood cells and serum metabolites were not significantly influenced (p<0.05) by dietary treatments. The packed cell volumes (PCV) of 36.03 to 41.06% were within the normal values of 35 to 45%, also red blood cell counts and the mean cell heamoglobin concentration (MCHC), were within the range reported for rabbits. Enzyme was found to be good nutrient metabolite that could enhance the growth of weaned rabbits. The already established quantity (125g/ton of feed) should be maintain as either increase or decrease in the internationally recommended quantity did not significantly (p<0.05) affect the zoo-technical performances nutrient digestibility, heamatological and serum metabolites of weaner rabbits.

Roti Bank Hyderabad: A Beacon of Hope and NourishmentRoti Bank
One of the top cities of India, Hyderabad is the capital of Telangana and home to some of the biggest companies. But the other aspect of the city is a huge chunk of population that is even deprived of the food and shelter. There are many people in Hyderabad that are not having access to
1. maintenance and tissue repair. For example, corn, a major
component of a typical poultry diet, contains significant amounts
of phytate. Adding phytase to poultry feed allows the animal to
use more of the phosphorus within the feed.
Carbohydrases break down fibre to improve the digestibility
of carbohydrates in feed, thus increasing the amount of nutrients
an animal can use for energy and growth. The primary types of
carbohydrases used in animal nutrition include xylanase, which
breaks down arabinoxylans; beta-glucanase, which breaks down
glucans; and beta-mannanase, which breaks down beta-mannans.
Although chickens naturally produce enzymes that aid in the
digestion of carbohydrates, they do not produce enzymes needed
to break down the fibre within feed.
Proteases break down complex proteins into shorter proteins,
called peptides, and amino acids, which are the building blocks
of protein. They are also capable of breaking apart proteins that
bind starch within feed ingredients, thus making more of the
energy found in starch available to the animal.
Selecting a Feed Enzyme Product
Selecting a feed enzyme additive from the multitude of
products available on the market today can be challenging. We
have identified eight key factors to consider when comparing
feed enzymes to help you select the best ones for your operation.
Do you want to reduce feed cost or improve performance?
This is one of the most important questions a nutritionist or
decision-maker should ask when considering enzyme options.
Based on your enzyme-use strategy (diet reformulation or
on-top application), you can calculate your potential return
on investment (ROI). On average, the use of an enzyme feed
additive in poultry diets should provide two to five times
ROI, depending on feed prices, formulation, quality and the
performance parameter being measured.
Reformulation
Use the matrix value information provided by the enzyme
manufacturer and least-cost formulation software to calculate
potential feed cost savings.
O
ne of the largest problems facing
poultry producers is the rising cost of
feed, which can account for up to 70
percent of total production expenses.
Enzyme feed additives, which improve
digestibility and release of nutrients to
the bird, allow producers to manage feed
costs while optimizing performance and
return on investment (ROI).
Why Use Feed Enzymes?
Feed enzymes provide an array of nutritional, economic and
environmental benefits for animal producers.
Nutritional Benefits: Enzymes increase the availability of
nutrients to the animal. Enzymes make proteins, carbohydrates
and minerals easier for the animal to digest, helping to promote
cell growth, physiological balance and tissue maintenance.
Enzymes also improve feed digestion by breaking down
components in feed not easily digested by the animal’s
endogenous enzymes. Finally, enzyme supplementation can
be used to naturally enhance feed digestion in young animals,
which have relatively low levels of enzyme production.
Economic Benefits: By optimising the release of energy sources
to the animal, enzymes allow producers to manage changing costs
of animal feed ingredients. Enzymes can also reduce the effects
of variable feed ingredients by enhancing the animal’s ability to
obtain nutrients from feedstuffs. Additionally, feed enzymes allow
producers to improve animal performance and growth.
Environmental Benefits: When animal feed is supplemented
with enzymes, less nitrogen, ammonia and phosphorous are
released into the environment. Exogenous enzymes, which are
derived from naturally occurring substances, have low toxicity,
making them safe for animals, people and the environment.
Classes of Enzymes Used in Poultry Production
There are three main classes of enzymes used in poultry
production: phytases, carbohydrases and proteases.
Phytases break down phytate, a substrate that contains
phosphorus, which is an essential nutrient for growth, cell

2. On-Top Application
To calculate the value of performance improvement from on-top
application of the enzyme product, consider improvement in feed
conversion ratio (FCR), higher body-weight gain, fewer days to
market, reduction in mortality, improvement in eggshell quality
or other related factors.
Does the enzyme improve the digestibility of your specific feed
formulation?
It is important to select the class and type of enzyme that works
well with the feed ingredients being used. This can be broken
down into two parts:
a. Class (es) of enzymes: The type of feed ingredients impacts
the type and amounts of substrates present in the feed. In
general, the majority of commercial poultry diets have
substrates for phytases, proteases and xylanases, while
the need for other enzymes like beta-mannanases, beta-
glucanases and others may depend on the specific feed
formulation.
b. Enzyme types (within each enzyme class): Certain types of
enzymes within each class work better with certain types and
amounts of substrates. For example, certain types of xylanases
work better than others in low-fibre diets such as corn-soy.
Whether your feed formulations contain wheat, corn, soybean
meal or other ingredients, it is important to select enzymes
optimised for those specific diets. Reviewing the results of
animal feeding trials and speaking with trusted experts will
provide more insight.
Is there a proven mechanism of action for the type of enzyme
being considered?
Each class of enzyme under consideration should have a
clear and scientifically proven mechanism of action in poultry
nutrition. For example, xylanases are known to work by reducing
digesta viscosity, leading to improved access of nutrients by the
endogenous enzymes and freeing encapsulated nutrients trapped
in the grain cell wall.
Is the enzyme product thermostable enough to withstand
pelleting under your feed mill conditions?
If you plan to mix the enzyme in your feed before pelleting, it
is important to select an enzyme product that is thermostable and
capable of withstanding the high temperatures inherent in the
pelleting process. Pelleting conditions, including temperature,
conditioning time, how fast the pellets are cooled, dye size and
other factors, have an impact on whether or not the enzyme
“survives” the pelleting process. Enzymes achieve thermostability
either intrinsically or through coating. Coated products may take
longer to break down and dissolve in the animal’s gut, allowing
less reaction time with feed. Intrinsically thermostable enzymes
are specifically developed to withstand high temperatures without
coating and therefore be more effective.
What is the pH activity profile of the enzyme?
Nutrient absorption takes place in the hindgut, where pH ranges
from neutral to alkaline. Ideally, an enzyme should survive at the
low pH ranges but be most active around the neutral pH – the
range at which the majority of digestion occurs. A suboptimal
pH activity profile may be compensated by higher dosing
(adding more enzyme), which also increases inclusion costs. It
is important to note that an enzyme’s activity can be reduced or
eliminated if its structure is altered. When selecting an enzyme,

3. be sure to ask if it will withstand your pelleting process as well
as the acidic conditions within the animal’s gut without losing
effectiveness.
Are the enzyme(s) compatible with other enzymes you are
using?
Supplementing animal diets with a phytase, a protease and a
xylanase is becoming more common. Each type of enzyme acts
upon different substrates and has a specific impact on nutrient
release. Manufacturers of enzymes typically claim a matrix value
for their products. It is important to select an enzyme whose
individual effect is additive when used with other enzymes and to
adjust the matrix to maximise animal performance and ROI.
Under what quality standards is the enzyme produced?
Given that enzymes are produced using microbial fermentation,
it is very important to work with an experienced manufacturer
with proven quality control. While the use of GMP (Good
Manufacturing Process) standards provide good general quality
control, the European Feed Additives and Premixtures Quality
System (FAMI-QS) is the only certification specific to the
manufacture of specialty feed ingredients for use in animal
nutrition. FAMI-QS certification includes requirements in the
areas of quality and feed safety, management systems, traceability
and product regulatory compliance. Most suppliers guarantee a
certain minimum enzyme activity that can be verified by standard
analytical methods.
Does the enzyme product contain other enzymes or side
activities?
Certain enzyme products in the marketplace include side
activities of other enzymes. While having other enzymes in
the product may seem attractive, paying for enzymes that do
not provide proven value may reduce the product’s ROI. When
evaluating an enzyme blend product, it is important to consider
whether all of the enzymes are necessary. This can be determined
by the following:
• Which enzymes in the product have a clear, scientifically
backed mechanism of action?
• Which enzymes in the product have guaranteed activity levels?
• What do the activity numbers (dosage) mean in terms of
incremental performance improvement in the animal?
• Is there enough substrate in the feed for additional enzymes in
the product?
• Does the animal have its own endogenous version of the same
enzyme?
Not all enzymes are created equal. There are a wide range
of enzyme feed additive products on the market, and a lot of
information to digest. Taking the time to research various options
upfront will increase your chances of success in improving
animal nutrition, performance and feed costs.
