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.

1. INTRODUCTION The metabolism of vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus within the chicken is uniquely integrated. The absorption of intestinal calcium depends on many factors but one of the most important is vitamin D (Ameenuddin, Sunde et al. 1985). There is obscurity regarding the exact mechanisms of calcium absorption across the intestine, however it is known that vitamin D is essential for the synthesis of calcium binding protein (CaBP) in the...

The study investigated effect of protease (Cibenza DP100, Novus International Inc.) on growth performance and carcass traits of broilers as affected by dietary crude protein level. There were 6 treatments in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement with 3 levels of crude protein (LO, ME, HI) and 2 levels of protease (0 or 300 units/g). Diets were corn SBM based with starter diets (0–19 d) in crumbled form, and grower (19–35 d) and...

A floor pen study was conducted to evaluate effect of a protease (Cibenza DP100, Novus International Inc.) and an NSP enzyme blend (Cibenza CSM, Novus International Inc.), when used alone or in combination, on growth performance and carcass parameters of broilers. The study consisted of 4 treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with 2 levels of protease (0 or 300 units/g) and 2 levels of NSP enzyme (0 or 1,000 units xylanase,...

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...

Danisco Animal Nutrition, a business division of DuPont Industrial BioSciences, hosted a VIP seminar before the main EPC conference kicked off on June 23. Dr. Peter Plumstead began the seminar with a presentation that separated the facts concerning nutrient release from phytase from the fiction. He stressed the importance of establishing robust estimates of calcium and phosphorus contributions when selecting phytase products and the necessity of species-specific...

Introduction In Nigeria, the high cost of poultry feed and competition for feed raw materials between farm animals and human has increased the search by nutritionists and researchers for alternative sources. Melon husks are agricultural by-product or wastes that are usually discarded or burnt after removal of the melon seeds (Citrullus vulgaris). Melon is a cucurbit crop belonging to the family cucurbitaceae (Abiodun and...

1. Industry challenges Gradual intensification of the poultry industry in the last half century has resulted in increasing challenges within the industry. With a growing world population the pressure has been on to grow bigger birds, faster and as cheaply as possible. Drivers for the industry have been increasing growth rates whilst maximising feed utilisation as feed is the biggest single cost for producers (Barletta,...

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...

I. INTRODUCTION Proteolytic enzymes are involved in a great variety of physiological processes and their action can be divided into two different categories. Firstly, limited proteolysis, in which a protease cleaves only one or a limited number of peptide bonds of a target protein leading to the activation or maturation of the formerly inactive protein. Secondly, unlimited proteolysis, in which proteins are degraded into their amino acid...

A study was conducted to evaluate effect of high levels of corn DDGS and rye on growth performance and gut health of broilers as influenced by a nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) degrading enzymes blend (CIBENZA ® CSM, Novus International, Inc.). The study consisted of 8 treatments: corn soy control, 30% DDGS, 16% corn bran, 38% rye, 38% rye plus enzyme, 25% rye, 25% rye 30% DDGS, and 25% rye 30% DDGS plus enzyme. Corn bran...
