Enzymes in swine nutrition

Welcome to the page about Enzymes in swine nutrition of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Enzymes in swine nutrition.
Introduction: International price of swine feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal has increased continually due to soaring oil price and increasing bio-fuel production. Palm kernel meal (PKM) can be one of alternative ingredients in swine feeds because of its extensive availability, adequate nutrients, comparable price and large amount of production. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to evaluate different levels of dietary PKM with ß-mannanase on growth...

Pressure on feed cost is and will remain a decisive factor for profitability and sustainability in pork and poultry production. In the backdrop of soaring inflation, other production costs have escalated. Corollary minimizing the costs associated with production has never been of greater importance. Arguably, feed formulation is a precise science that seek to compute combination of feedstuffs to meet the requirement of an animal at least/best cost. Traditionally, the two primary factors that...

Additives are part of the strategies for adding value to food, and their interest, in the current context of raw material prices, is even more evident. Nevertheless, there is a tendency to simplify their action to stick to the primary logic of their nature and easily generate an economic advantage. In doing so, we are likely to limit ourselves by failing to fully consider the scope of their work. In the case of the increasingly popular proteases, this involves a "simple" recovery of the...

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...
