Dear Matheus, dear authors, Indeed, a nice study, and thank you very much, as research on SAA and Thr responses for modelling and optimization purposes became scarce in recent years. While I agree and applaud the dose-response data and the way you utilised them, I would like to add that both SAA and Thr have a very high involvement in maintenance metabolism and as functional amino acids. Therefore ...

Apart from using additives like organic acids, pro-prebiotics, GAA, and betaine, my experience highlights two fundamental nutritional strategies that are effective and have been validated through extensive testing on large farms:-Balancing Digestible Amino Acids: Increasing the levels of digestible sulfur amino acids (SID SAA) as mentioned before and arginine (SID Arg) , which enhances blood circu ...

@Nelson Ruíz, thank you for your insightful comments. I agree with your perspective that KOH protein solubility serves as an effective indicator for assessing the degree of overheating in soybean meal. Our observations have shown a strong correlation between KOH solubility and the reactive lysine to total lysine ratio. Typically, we utilize both KOH and the reactive lysine ratio to validate our fi ...

@dan hofer As long as full fat soybeans are properly heat-treated, there should be no difference between them when balanced for different macronutrients content. And it shouldn’t be too much different than using SBM plus oil. Actisaf would not be expected to work differently because of different soy protein source.

In poultry, NSPs degradation mainly occurs in the crop or gizzard. The degree of NSP degradation in monogastric animals is related to their solubility and depends on the type of polymers and their structural associations with other cell wall components.By combination of processing technologies and NSPs degrading enzyme, we can improve feed quality. The processing technologies if used without NSPas ...
