Enzymes

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Created by nature, they are vital in animal feed to release nutrients which would otherwise not be available to the animal. This effect saves resources, costs and the environment. 

Monogastric animals, such as swine and poultry, are unable to digest vegetable phosphorous as it is bound to phytic acid. Supplementing phytase to their diets breaks down the phytic acid within, allowing the phosphorous to be released and digested by the animal. 

Thanks to this improvement in P-digestibility, the farmer can use environmentally friendly, low phosphorous diets. Animal performance further benefits from the additional release of other minerals and nutrients from the phytate complexes.  

Whether you are producing premix, mineral feed, complete feed or need a product in liquid form, Enzy Phostar is a bacterial 6-phytase to boost your swine and poultry feed. 

Large amounts of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) are contained in cereal grains, by-products from starch and alcohol production and vegetable protein. They have different functions in plants and are mainly part of the cell wall structure. 

For monogastric animals the NSP have so-called anti-nutritional properties. In case of soluble NSP these include increased viscosity, interference with digesta passage rate or impaired digestion. The insoluble NSP lock up valuable nutrients, preventing their absorption in the first place.

The combination of xylanase and β-glucanase as NSP-degrading enzymes in Enzy Carboplus allows the breakdown of both soluble and insoluble NSP, improving nutrient digestibility and animal performance. Intrinsically heat-stable, Enzy Carboplus optimises feed conversion with versatile application in all your feed formulations.
