HOW ENZYMES CAN BOOST THE DIGESTIBILITY OF AMINO ACIDS

摘要

The formulation of diets that are nutritionally adequate and at the same time economical is a key factor in reducing costs and increasing margins for animal producers.Feed enzymes offer a range of useful options for enhancing the digestibility of the diet. The individual capacity of phytase, carbohydrase and protease to increase the digestibility of amino acids has been extensively demonstrated. However, it is increasingly the case that diets are formulated with more than one enzyme and so the additivity of enzyme effects has become a focal area of ongoing research.
