Protease Enzyme in Poultry Feed

Published: August 24, 2021
By: ABTL Advanced Bio-Agro Tech Ltd
In recent years protein feed ingredients are consistently increasing in cost and protein in poultry diets has become one of the most expensive nutrient. Urbanization is putting pressure to produce more and high quality protein sources in less space. Neutralizing substandard quality feed ingredients with effective tools has also become a new concern. In parallel people are more concerned on impact of animal agriculture on environmental pollution. Hence research has focused in the direction to enhance nutrients digestibility (Protein, CHO and Phosphorus) and reduce excretion of nutrients through waste generated by livestock production. Use of exogenous enzymes in poultry feed has been ongoing and many commercial enzyme products are presently available to the poultry feed industry. Phytase enzyme is well known to maximum poultry feed producers around the world. Enzymes are added in poultry feed to improve nutrients digestibility, reducing anti-nutritional factors, reducing secondary bacterial proliferation in hind gut as well as for environmental issues.
A Protease also called a peptidase or proteinase is an enzyme that catalyzes proteolysis, the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids. They do this by cleaving the peptide bonds within proteins by hydrolysis, a reaction where water breaks bonds. Proteases are involved in many biological functions, including digestion of ingested proteins, protein catabolism and cell signaling.

Proteases may be classified by the optimal pH in which they are active
  • Acid Proteases - Works in Proventriculus and Gizzard ( pH 2.5 – 3.5 )
  • Neutral Proteases – Works in Duodenum and Jejunum ( pH 6.5 - 7 )
  • Basic Proteases /Alkaline Proteases – Works in Ileum ( 7.2 – 7.8 )
Use of protease enzyme is capable of improving soybean meal and other protein sources protein solubility, amino acids digestibility and reducing anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors, glycinin, β conglycinin. Exogenous protease enzyme supplementation in poultry feed may improve efficiency of poultry production by improving low quality feed ingredients digestion thereby reducing nutrient losses through excreta and lowering feed cost by reducing nutrition level of poultry diet without compromising performance.
Using a Protease enzyme can increase the protein utilization rate and therefore may decrease the dietary protein requirement in broiler chickens.
About BG-PRO
BG-PRO is a zootechnical additives and digestibility enhancer helps in optimizing protein digestion and amino acid utilization. It is an intrinsically heat stable, multipotent protease enzyme feed additive that optimizes digestibility of proteins in poultry feed ingredients.
BG-PRO is a broad-spectrum protease having acid, neutral and alkaline protease activities which works effectively on all the alternative protein raw materials. It is produced by submerged fermentation technology from Bacillus subtilis having protease activity NLT 6, 00,000 U/g.
BG-PRO advantages at a glance
BG-PRO because of its broad-spectrum activity has the capacity to maximize protein digestion and amino acid utilization from all the alternative protein sources. This action of BG-PRO has multifold advantages which are associated with the growth, gut health and farm environment.

Good morning, do you have any study on the use of proteases and carbohydrases in broiler breeders?

Hi Dr.V. Rajendra is your protease B G - Pro available in Canada, Protease enzymes are really important if you want the max out of your high pro ingredients, eg soymeal ,,

Protease enzymes and its role in poultry

Alternative to Soya for sustainable Poultry feed


1. Soybean meal remains sovereign, but it can be easily replaced when other protein sources can offer a more profitable solution.

2. Soybean meal, containing 44 percent crude protein, remains the most common protein source for all compound feeds for pigs, poultry and dairy cattle, worldwide.

3. Soyabean rate continues to fluctuate between supply and demand due to new harvest crop causing hardship to poultry farmers.

a) Under expected normal rainfall and crop area coverage, it is predicted that the soyabean price per quintal will be around high the time of harvesting as predicted.

3. This position of eminence has not been attained easily and without considerable cost.

a) Perhaps another protein source could easily have taken the position of soybean if it was cultivated at such extent while strong marketing forces promoted it on a global basis.

5. soybean meal is the textbook protein source by which example or typical formulas are formulated for educational purposes, and one that remains the reference standard for all other protein sources.

6. Alternative protein sources can be a valuable tool in lowering feed cost for all animal and poultry feeds.

7. Ground nut cake:

This ingredient has become increasingly available during the past few years. Peanut meal has about the same protein as soybean meal (47-48%). However, this protein is not of the same quality as that in soya.

a) Specifically, the critical amino acid lysine is very deficient in peanut meal.

b) could increase the likelihood of aflatoxin contamination.

8. Distiller’s Dried Grains with Solubles:

This ingredient, commonly known as DDGS, is a by-product of fermentation.

a) In past years, most DDGS came from the beverage industry.

c) More recently, tremendous amounts are becoming available when corn is fermented to produce ethanol for motor fuels.

d) DDGS can be used in all types of feeds, with maximum levels being between 10 and 15%.

9. Sunflower meal

Sunflower seed cake (meal) is the remnant after the sunflower seed oil is extracted. Its crude protein content is between 30% and 43%.

a) The amino acid composition is better, among which the content of methionine is higher and the content of lysine is lower than that of soybean meal, so it is more suitable for use with soybean meal.

b) The tannin, erucic acid, and phenolic compounds in sunflower meal are also low, so it has good palatability and is a good protein feed in poultry.Its nutritional value mainly depends on the degree of dehulling.

c) The nutritional value of completely dehulled sunflower seed meal is very high, but it is relatively rare on the market .

10. Adding a novel protein source is not impossible, but putting together a diet that will also enable animals to maximize performance is something that requires knowledge to carefully balance many factors. ??

11. It can be done, and if done correctly, it can be an attractive proposition. ??

12. But if done haphazardly, the outcome will be reduced animal performance and/or health.

13, All of the ingredients mentioned above are priced lower than soybean meal, and might be considered when attempting to produce a lower cost feed.

14. However, it is necessary to bear in mind that all protein is not of the same quality.

15. The amino acid composition of alternative protein sources must be taken into account when preparing feeds for the flock so that the birds are not subjected to nutrient deficiencies.

Right protease enzyme in Poultry feed.

16. Please include BGPRO of ABTL, broad spectrum protease enzyme having acid , alkaline and neutral protease activities which works on all protein sources in your feed and use alternative protein sources with low cost replacing Soya without sacrificing productivity.??

17. Field trials with BG -PRO of ABTL conclusively proved that adding to poultry diets speeds up the breakdown of proteins into nutrients, reducing both feed cost and environmental impact.

18. BG -PRO of ABTL Improves productivity & ensures least cost feed formulation.

• Expands the use of alternative protein sources

• Optimizes the economics of meat & egg production, boosts profitability.

• Feeding exogenous protease enzyme BG -PRO of ABTL help improve digestion of protein allowing produc-ers to decrease the use of expensive ingredients when necessary.

• Improved production efficiency and better litter quality

• Enhanced profitability

•. Dose: 100 to 200 gms for ton of feed.

18. BG PRO protease bestows with better production performance in layers , broilers and Breeders due to increased protein and energy digestibility.

Hi good afternoon sir
Please I will like to know if one can use both protease enzyme and phytase at the same time?

thanks for sharing, on 100 gms per ton feed its contribution will be 60,000 units per Kg Finished Feed, and on 200 gms per ton its contribution will be 120,000 units per Kg Finished Feed, why are you recomending such a higher doses of protease ?

Thanks for this information.
How can broiler chickens benefit from protease? At what dosage and frequency of application? I need more information before I can apply it to my birds.
