Welcome to the page about Enzymes in swine nutrition of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Enzymes in swine nutrition.
Introduction In recent years, the cost of energy for feed has increased, with increasing demand for cereals from the biofuels industries. It follows that there is currently pressure on feed manufacturers to maximise their efficiency of nutrient utilisation, particularly of energy but also phosphorous. The net result is that feed manufacturers are moved to consider use of feed additive enzymes such as xylanase for...

Despite widespread use in monogastric diets throughout the world, the value currently obtained from phytase enzymes is just a fraction of the potential benefits available, claims Dr Rob ten Doeschate, AB Vista’s Technical Director for EMEA. “The use of phytase enzymes to reduce formulation costs by releasing minerals (calcium, phosphorous and sodium) has produced significant economic benefits, particularly for the feed...

Enzymes are now widely used in animal feed. Various key reasons justify their use. Firstly, enzymes inhibit the action of anti-nutritional factors in the feed, which have an adverse effect on both the animal's digestive system and health. Secondly, enzymes improve access to the nutrients in the feed. Lastly, enzymes compensate for the lack of natural enzymes capable of breaking chemical bonds as well as the lack of enzymes in the undeveloped...

Introduction
Swine diets are normally digested at about 85% efficacy and dietary proteases may be used to increase the efficiency of protein digestion and reduce cost. In addition, fermentation of undigested protein increases hindgut pH making the environment more favorable for the proliferation of opportunistic pathogens.

Phosphorus-based nutrient management regulations increase the amount of land required to dispose of manure and will have a detrimental effect on pig farm profitability in areas of intensive animal production. Decreasing the phosphorus content of manure through nutrition with phytase is a powerful and cost-effective approach to reduce the amount of land required for pig production and therefore reduce the cost of manure disposal. ...

Before the "Journées de la Recherche Porcine", Adisseo organized its first Swine Conference in Paris on February 6 th .
Over 50 nutritionists from Europe and Brazil attended the meeting.
First, Pierre Cozannet, Adisseo Enzymes Research Manager, reminded the audience of the numerous effects of fibers on pig nutrition and, consequently, on performances: decrease of feed...

Weight and backfat losses, during lactation, are reduced when lactating sows receive a feed containing Rovabio Excel, a NSP enzyme developed by Adisseo.
Six trials throughout the world, concerning more than 500 sows, with different genetics, different feed compositions, various ages at weaning, prove that on average weight loss can be reduced during lactation by more than 3 kg, and backfat thickness by 24 % from...

BASF has cleared an important regulatory hurdle for the EU market approval of the animal feed additive Natugrain ® TS. The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, Animal Nutrition Section, of the European Commission has agreed to the sale of the animal feed additive throughout the EU. Marketing authorization was published in the Official Journal on April 3, 2009 and covers the animal species of broiler chicken, broiler turkeys, laying hens, ducks and...

Pig and poultry producers looking for lower feed costs with distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) can use the latest developments in enzyme technology reported Dr Alexandre Péron at the 42nd University of Nottingham Feed Conference, UK, 3-4 September 2008. As feed costs continue to escalate, by-products from the food and fuel ethanol industries can provide alternative, more cost- effective ingredient options for the nutritionist. The use of DDGS in animal feed has...

Pig producers looking to reduce feed costs by including DDGS in the feed formulation can use the latest developments in enzyme technology to improve nutrient digestibility, according to recent research from Danisco Animal Nutrition. DDGS are highly fibrous and can be highly variable in nutrient availability. Insoluble fibres contained in DDGS hold water creating more bulk in the pig’s gut, which can reduce feed intake and subsequent growth. These...

New generation E. Coli phytases, the latest in thermoprotection technology, enzyme solutions to optimise both piglet and grower/finisher performance and the use of enzymes in antibiotic growth promoter free nutrition were just some of the recent advances in enzyme technology reported by Dr Gary Partridge at the Pig Focus Asia conference, Bangkok, Thailand. Presenting a paper entitled "Profitable use of new enzymes", Dr Gary Partridge, Technical Services Director for...

Approximately two billion tonnes of cereal grains and 140 million tonnes of legumes and oilseeds are produced annually throughout the world. This production is associated with an estimated 230 million tonnes of fibrous material as part of a variety of by-products. In addition, the ‘dietary fibre’ contained within cereals and legumes is used inefficiently by the intensive livestock industries. At present, enzyme supplements are used extensively in wheatand barley-based diets for poultry,...

Pig producers will continue to fall short of reaching their target performance and economic potential unless they fully harness the benefits offered by feed enzymes, according to Danisco Animal Nutrition, who pioneered their development and use in pig and poultry feeds. “The contribution that enzymes can make at all stages of pig production, from weaners through to finishers, has been consistently demonstrated, yet some feed manufacturers and pig producers have still been relatively...

The increase in feed energy costs and increased availability of co-products from the bio-fuel and food industry represent both challenges and opportunities for the pork industry. An approach that is explored in swine nutrition research at the University of Guelph is to treat co-products with enzymes and microbes at source, and to feed (condensed) liquid co-product directly to pigs using computerized liquid feeding systems. In general and when used at 15% or less of diet dry matter...

Toward the end of last century a major lifestyle trend emerged in the developing nations emphasizing wellness and disease prevention in the human population rather than treatment therapies. This focus is expected to strengthen, rather than diminish, as the relatively affluent and well-educated ‘baby boomers’ of the 1950s and 1960s progressively reach middle age and begin to contemplate their retirement years. It has been calculated that in the US...
