Developments in feed enzyme technology can substantially increase the profitability of poultry and pig production while reducing associated financial and health risks, Dr Milan Hruby, Technical Services Manager, Danisco Animal Nutrition, told delegates attending the recent VIV Asia conference in Bangkok from 16th - 18th March 2005. Feed enzymes have been added to wheat and barley-based poultry and pig feeds for over 15 years, and more recently to those based on corn and sorghum. The benefits include reduced feed costs, improved feed conversion, greater uniformity, lower mortality, increased carcass yield and enhanced litter quality, together with reduced nitrogen, phosphorus and manure output. "New developments in feed enzyme application build on the existing benefits and respond to recent challenges faced by the feed and animal production industry, including pressures to produce high quality products that satisfy customer needs in a cost-effective manner," said Dr Hruby.
