Enzymes in poultry nutrition
Enzymes are proteins involved in all anabolic and catabolic pathways of digestion and metabolism. Digestive enzymes are categorised as endogenous or exogenous. Endogenous enzymes are produced by the animal and exogenous enzymes are administered from outside. Enzyme supplementation decreases nutrient loss through excreta, reduces diets nutritional levels, improves nutrient availability; thus, enhances production efficiency and profitability. In addition, exogenous enzymes hydrolyse non-starch polysaccharides, increase the usage of feed energy, reduce negative impacts of non-digestive residues on digesta viscosity, and improve gut microbial ecosystem. Cellulase, glucanase, pectinase, xylanase, galactisidases, phytase, non-starch polysaccharides degrading enzymes, amylase, lipase, cellulase, and protease are the most common enzymes used in poultry feed.
I. INTRODUCTION In Tanzania, a majority of the SM farmers use mash diets for feeding broiler chickens, and this has resulted in lower performance. The feed industry in Tanzania is less developed due to lack of analytical facilities, low quality of ingredients and lack of government policy enforcement on feed quality (Geerts 2014). Improving feed quality through physical processing and microbial enzyme supplementation can enhance broiler performance. Feeding pellets improves...

INTRODUCTION Supplementing poultry feed with specific enzymes improves the nutritional value of feed ingredients by increasing the efficiency of digestion and nutrient uptake. These enzymes help to increase the availability of nutrients particularly starch, protein, amino acids and minerals such as phosphorus and calcium from feed ingredients. Variability in the nutrient content of maize has been demonstrated to be as great as that observed for wheat and barley...

INTRODUCTION The nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP) portion of corn and soybean meal (SBM) – the 2 primary ingredients in North American poultry feeds – is complex and varies considerably across both ingredients. Exogenous NSP enzymes are supplemented to improve the digestibility of this fiber fraction for which no enzymes are secreted endogenously (Bedford, 1995; Cowieson, 2010; Kiarie et al., 2013). In this regard, diets composed mainly of...

The apparent metabolisable energy values for feedstuffs are not always constant, and may vary even when feedstuffs is fed to birds of the same type. Digestibility and utilisation of the nutrients in feed ingredients may also be dependent on the strain, age and sex of birds. These differences may be attributable to variations in the endogenous energy losses relative to the excreta energy of feed origin. The age effect in the excretion of uric acid, ammonia and total nitrogen increases...

The growth graph of the global animal feed enzymes market is expected to display an upward trend in the coming years, due to the increasing preference of the people for nutritious diet along with a considerable rise in the disposable incomes, especially among the developing nations. In a report by the Government of Australia, the global consumption of meat increased to reach 360 million tons in the country by 2018.
With an evident increase in the consumption of animal by-products,...

Abstract The present experiment was designed to investigate the effects of different levels of commercial enzyme supplemented with diets containing different levels of hull-less barley on performance and egg quality in laying hens. For this purpose, 216 Hy line W36 laying hens were used based on a completely randomized design in 6 experimental treatments with 6 replicates( 6 laying hen per replicate). Treatments were 0, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60% hull-less barley with three level bioform enzyme...

For several decades, Insta-Pro International has been well known around the world for dry extrusion, which we invented in the 1960’s.Dry extrusion was invented to process soybeans, and over the years, this process has been well researched. The advantages of this technique are the following: Thorough plant cell wall rupture, providing much improved access to nutrients Deactivation of naturally-present antinutritional factors, which hinder animal...

I. INTRODUCTION Exogenous phytase improved ileal amino acid digestibility by an average of 5% based on 745 observations across 24 studies in a systematic review (Cowieson et al., 2017). Nevertheless, the post-enteral availability of amino acids is ultimately determined by their transition across enterocytes in the gut mucosa. Amino acids may be denied access to the portal circulation because they may enter numerous anabolic pathways, or they may be catabolized for energy...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Broiler diets are mainly composed of vegetable feedstuffs. These ingredients usually consist of high amount of P in the phytate form (60 to 80%). The phytate form that is found in plants is mostly unavailable to be used for broilers [1]. Phytate is negatively charged under many pH conditions, and because of this property, phytate can form complexes with positively charged molecules and reduce their digestibility. Forming complexes with other nutrients can...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Phytase has been regularly incorporated into commercial poultry diets due to its relatively low cost and effectiveness at hydrolyzing phytate (IP6; myo-inositol 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexakis dihydrogen phosphate; Bedford and Cowieson, 2009). Dephosphorylation through phytase supplementation is needed for birds to access this source of P and also to prevent the chelation of IP6 with other nutrients such as amino acids and minerals (Nelson, 1967; Ravindran et...

I. INTRODUCTION The global supply of poultry products will need to double by 2050 if we are to meet the aspiration of all people to be food secure. We will need to produce more poultry meat in the face of changing consumer perceptions and constrained resources. Consumers expect this to be achieved in a sustainable manner. The industry has the skills to achieve this. Genotypes continue to improve; production methods and business models are evolving; and we have enhanced our...

I. INTRODUCTION Xylanases have been used in the poultry industry for 30 years, initially to improve litter quality in wheat-based diets but later to also improve performance or reduce costs in wheat, corn, sorghum and barley based diets. It is widely accepted that these benefits are the result of the enzyme partly degrading the insoluble cell wall arabinoxylans to release the enclosed nutrients and the soluble arabinoxylans to reduce digesta viscosity, hence improving nutrient...

1. Introduction The male breeding broiler is the bird used to produce a fertile egg from which the future broiler will be fattened to obtain meat. The importance of the rooster lies in the dissemination of genetic progress to obtain, in its progeny, large muscle masses because during its reproductive stage it is responsible for the fertilization of 1000 to 2000 eggs [1]. Currently, due to the genetic improvements that have been carried out to obtain birds with large muscle...
