Introduction: Previous studies have led to observations regarding the negative impact of non-starch polysaccharides in corn-soybean meal diets on nutrient digestibility. Therefore, steps are undertaken to positively influence nutrition in livestock by utilizing enzymes. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of ethyl-enzyme liquid energy (ELE) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, meat quality traits and carcass grades of grower-finisher...

Introduction There are four forms of phytic acid (inositol hexakisphosphate, InsP 6 ), which have been identified in nature, myo, neo-, scyllo- and D-chiro-, that differ in their stereochemical conformation (Fig. S1) and association with metal ions as phytates in different soils (Turner et al., 2002). Among these, myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP 6 ) garners the most attention from plant scientists. It is the principal storage form of phosphorus in plants,...

In the first half of 2023, Life Rainbow mycotoxin analysis lab collected 141 feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms and analyzed them. The survey provides essential information on the feed pollution situation of Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), Zearalenone, Fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in Taiwan. All the samples were analyzed using ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit. Results: 141 feed samples were collected, and 80.1% were...

Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain types of fungi that can contaminate feed and feed ingredients with detrimental effects on pig performance. Effects of mycotoxins on swine include reduced feed intake, altered nutrient utilization, impaired growth performance, immune system suppression, reproductive issues, and organ damage. Mycotoxins can cause a decrease in feed intake. Affected animals may show reduced appetite, leading to lower nutrient intake and slower growth...

This study was investigating the effects of a defined concentration of Fusarium mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZON) incorporated into feeds on growth performance of pigs and the alleviating effects of a mycotoxin degrading enzyme (MDE) on the toxicity of Fusarium mycotoxins. A total of 48 weaning pigs was randomly allotted to four treatments for a 6-week challenged trial. The MDE product was a kind of mycotoxin degradation enzyme with esterase, epoxidase and...

The swine industry has largely gone to early weaning (3 weeks or earlier) especially in confinement production systems with environmentally controlled nurseries. Economic factors such as increasing the number of pig per sow per year and the need to maximize the capital cost of swine farrowing units by moving more sow through the facilities has...

Introduction Globally, industrial coproducts from the dry and wet milling of cereal grains are often included in swine diets to reduce feed cost; however, they contain greater levels of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) than their parent grain (Jaworski et al., 2015). It has been well established that pigs lack the enzymes required to digest NSP, and that increased dietary NSP can reduce nutrient and energy digestibility, impair hindgut fermentation, and increase digesta...

INTRODUCTION The pig’s weaning period is possibly the most stressful time of its productive life and is the foundation of a thriving lifetime of growth performance [1]. During this critical period, weaned piglets face a variety of problems, including post-weaning diarrhea and reduced feed intake due to an immature immune system and limited enzyme secretory capacity [2], both of which are economically significant in today’s pig industry. Therefore, it is critical...

1. Introduction Food ingredients included in pig diets, especially plant-based cereals, contain large amounts of non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) (Adeola & Cowieson, 2011; Recharla et al., 2019). These NSPs are an important part of the plant ingredients (10–75%), and most of them are composed by arabinoxylans, cellulose and β-glucans (Choct, 2015). However, NSPs are poorly metabolized by pigs as they lack specific endogenous enzymes for their degradation (Jha...

In 2022 mycotoxins semiannual survey, Life Rainbow Biotech randomly collected 181 feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms and analyzed. The samples were tested for aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), zearalenone, fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3) and deoxynivalenol (DON) by the ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit. Results: 181 feed samples collected, and 92% were contaminated with DON and 80% contaminated with Aflatoxins ( table 1 ). The maximum concentrations of...

The majority of pig and poultry diets are composed of about 70% maize or wheat, 20% soybean meal or other similar protein sources, and 10% micro-ingredients. Although this is a simplification, it illustrates the point that the majority of pork, poultry, and eggs are produced using a limited range of ingredients. In addition, it is important to note that feed cost is about 60-70% of overall production cost. And, as feedstuff prices continue to be prohibitively high, with detrimental...

Introduction The processing of food grains into flour, vegetable oil, alcohol and biofuels offloads quantitatively variable, chemically diverse non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) into co-products (Bach Knudsen, 2014). Rapidly increasing human demand and random adverse climate change-related events are disrupting global grain markets, forcing producers into greater dependency on co-products for sustainable, cost-effective pig feeding strategies. Chemical and quantitative...
