Dear Rafael, Thank you for your interest and questions regarding Cibenza EP150. And before answer, my apologies for the delay on the reply; due to travelling I was unable to connect. My answer to your 3 questions is the following: i) Cibenza EP150 is not intended to replace carbohydrases, but to maximize the use of protein in the animal by digesting the remained indigestible portion of protein tha ...

Dr. Fiodor S. Marchenkov Dear Fiodor, you are correct, we see additional benefits when using Cibenza EP150 together with phytase, and also carbohydrases, although not to forget the additional gut health benefit that the Bacillus licheniformis spores is providing. In relation to the matrix values, it may vary among different diets depending on the raw materials composing those diets. The substrate ...

Proteases have the ability not only to improve undigested protein but also mitigate the adverse effects of trypsin inhibitors, for example seen in underprocessed soybean meal, which can cause impaired growth and feed efficiency in broilers.

I would like to come back to the topic of the title, which is related to water treatment and Salmonella prevalence. I think there is not a kind of a golden bullet and a strict biosecurity program including several strategies is key for preventing Salmonella outbreaks on farm level. Organic acids applied over the water and/or feed can be considered as part of such anti-Salmonella programs. Talking ...

To provide some more insights in this interesting discussion around protease: CIBENZA® DP100 enzyme feed additive works well in combination with other feed enzymes like phytase, even in super-dosing conditions. A trial in 2016 was completed (Gonzalez-Esquerra, et. al.) where the cumulative effect of the specific actions of protease and phytase resulted in the betterment of animal performance. A ...
