World production of lipid sources Global production of vegetable oils has increased dramatically over the last 20 years with approximately 168 million metric tonnes produced in 2014. The primary vegetable oils produced in the world include palm oil (35 % of the total production), soybean oil (26 %), rapeseed/ canola oil (15 %), and sunflower oil (9 %). Other vegetable oils account for only about 15 % of the market, with palm kernel oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, coconut oil,...

The growth graph of Animal Feed Enzymes Market is forecast to display an upward trend over the coming years, owing to the growing consumer preference for nutritious diet along with a substantial rise in the disposable incomes across emerging economies. According to the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), the average meat intake per individual across the globe is nearly 75 pounds in a year. This figure is an indication of the growing product popularity across the...

  Introduction Enzymes have been used in livestock production for more than 20 yrs, especially in diet containing cereals with high levels of soluble non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) such as wheat, oats, barley and rye (Yin et al., 2000a, 2000b, 2001c; Yu et al., 2007). In recent years, however, enzymes have also been accepted by the industry for corn-based diets in both poultry and pigs (Fang et al., 2007; Olukosi et al., 2007;...

There are many factors that impact enzyme feed additive effectiveness and results, one of the most important of which is enzyme stability, meaning the ability of the enzyme to maintain its activity level during both feed processing and animal digestion.   Intrinsic stability characteristics are encoded in the molecular structure of an enzyme by its amino acid sequence which...

The global swine industry adopted early-weaning practices a generation ago. However, early weaned piglets have been characterized by poor growth performance, known as the “postweaning lag.” A transient hypersensitivity response to new exposure to soy protein is one reason for the lag in post-weaning growth performance. Soybean meal (SBM) is commonly used as the primary protein source in pig diets. While some of the proteins in SBM are more easily...

The global swine industry adopted early-weaning practices a generation ago. However, early weaned piglets have been plagued by poor growth performance, known as the “post-weaning lag.” One cause of this is the piglets’ hypersensitivity to soy protein – specifically glycinin and β-conglycinin, which make up about 40% and 30% of the total protein found in soybean meal (SBM). These proteins have been found to be allergenic to the intestinal lumen, leading to...

1. Introduction Wheat is one of the most variable in composition among cereal grains (Choct et al., 1999a). These differences are exacerbated by the environmental conditions under which the grains are grown (Longstaff and MacNab, 1986). A review by van Barneveld (1997) using past data for more than 70 cultivars of wheat found differences of up to 3.7 MJ/kg dry matter (DM) in digestible...

Introduction Inclusion of high levels of byproducts can reduce diet cost but tend to also decrease growth performance due to low nutrient digestibility. Dietary enzyme supplementation may be a viable solution to increase byproduct inclusion while maintaining growth performance. Materials and Methods Pigs (337 × C-22, PIC,...

CIBENZA® DP100: Protease Feed Enzyme for Feed Cost Reduction
CIBENZA® DP100 protease feed enzyme from Novus International, Inc., supports improved protein digestibility in a variety of feed ingredients. With its inclusion, the total amount of protein can be reduced in formulated feed – resulting in lower feed costs. CIBENZA DP100 increases the digestibility of animal and plant proteins, in turn optimizing gut health and supporting production performance....

Take home message.   Feed enzymes are a widely accepted and adopted means to increase feed utilisation and ultimately save on feed costs. Feed enzymes typically improve the environmental impact of animal production. While the use of phytases is most developed and widespread, there is still more to be learned and more to be gained from the application of carbohydrases and...

In today's efficient conscious world, we save on anything and everything including communication. One of these is abbreviations. Recently I stumbled across one, which I called WAAW! Translation? War Against Amino Wastages! Amino wastages are unnecessary biological losses of amino acids, especially critical ones like methionine, lysine and threonine. In this war the call is to adopt a zero waste policy, doing this will recover more cost as amino acids are among the most...

In 1921, Alexander Fleming discovered the antimicrobial powers of the enzyme lysozyme after observing diminished bacterial growth in a Petri dish where a drop from his runny nose had fallen. The famed Scottish bacteriologist published his findings a year later, but ultimately decided that the enzyme didn’t meet his criteria for a useful antibiotic—unlike penicillin, a later discovery. Lysozyme, Fleming showed, is...

Introduction The feed enzyme market today is worth approximately $1 billion USD and is dominated by NSP’ases and phytases, with proteases also playing a minor but significant role. The principal reason for their employment is that they improve digestibility of a number of nutrients, specific to the enzyme employed, and as a result enable the use of less digestible, cheaper and most frequently more...

Despite the recent proliferation of enzyme products containing multiple activities, the $450 million global non-starch polysaccharide (NSP)-degrading enzyme market remains dominated by xylanases. Of the total products sold annually, more than 80% are xylanases or xylanase-based products, with single xylanases accounting for five of the top ten brands, and other xylanase-based products another four. The figures come from a recent study carried out by AB...

The 2014 Inspire: Non-starch Polysaccharide (NSP) Forum, drew to a close today with the focus switching firmly to the impact of exogenous feed enzymes dietary NSPs. The session opened with a detailed look at how NSP enzymes vary in key characteristics relevant to animal feed by Dr Kim Langfelder from AB Enzymes. The presentation highlighted the important differences between NSP enzymes – even those belonging to the same class – in terms of...
