Dear Dr Moran, thanks for your interest in the use of proteases in the presence of other exogenous enzymes. When we blend DP100 with phytase in feed, we don’t see losses of the phytase or DP100 in the feed, and when we feed the combination of the two enzymes we don’t see reduction in the response of the bird. This would indicate the protease is not degrading the exogenous phytase, if a ...

In reference to calcium, the enzyme makes more available what is already supplied by the ingredients but it cannot add something that does not contain. So, if we work our formulations based on total calcium, I tend to agree with Rami Sebai that the phytase enzyme must not have a calcium value.On the other hand, if we formulate for available calcium, as we do with phosphorus, we should include a ca ...

Dear Torence Sidhuna I would consider 180~220 mEq/kg in the case of layers in production phase and 220~250 mEq/kg for broilers, specially to maintain a good litter quality. Follow the recommended levels of sodium, potassium and chloride for the the breed you are using. Special attention should be given to chloride levels and you can use sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate to help in the bal ...

For proper application of phytase one must know the matrix values.Though for Natuphos E from BASF you only require 50g to 100g per ton of feed.

This is the new focus of research in Phytate and other enzymes.. One research has shown that 600 units of phytate will release 0.8gram of Phytate phosphorus. Generally quantification of phytase and other enzymes' effect is essential to maximize the benefit of enzyme technology in monogastric nutrition. This will allow for formulation in anticipation of enzyme action. Where enzymes are added in e ...

Dear Lokare,For the proper application of phytase one needs to know the matrix values of the product, the phytic P levels in the feed and the goal of the production: performance or cost savings.

For Rose, my point is that your work has shown that reducing crude protein in feed is not as simple as it may seem. This is because factors such as immune challenge and environmental stress, such as high temperature, are factors that alter the relationships of some essential amino acids with lysine, highlighting the dynamic character of the ideal protein. This detail reveals that in order to obtai ...

The more divalent cations in the diet the less soluble phytate becomes. This is especially true when drinking water pH is high and when phytate concentration is also high. In diets with high concentrations of e.g. Ca (from limestone, drinking water Ca, inorganic P sources, vegetable sources, V&M premix etc), high phytate concentration and more alkaline drinking water then the need for superdosin ...
