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.
Phytate has direct anti-nutritional effects on poultry and swine, causing reductions in performance by lowering amino acid and mineral absorption and increasing endogenous losses. PHYTIN (a deposited complex of inositol hexaphosphate with potassium, magnesium and calcium) - more recognized in animal nutrition as phytate - is the major storage form of phosphorus present in seeds. ...

Introduction
Phytate phosphorus, in its natural state in feed, forms complexes with different nutrients, including proteins, lipids, and minerals. Exogenous phytases not only release the phosphorus attached to the phytate acid molecule, but also the phosphorus attached to other nutrients, such as calcium and amino acids. The reduction of the cost of phytase in recent years, along with the increase...

Introduction
Individual feed ingredients commonly used in poultry may vary widely in composition and nutrient availability because of variation in cultivars, growing conditions, processing and storage conditions (NRC, 1994). In spite of this, in recent years the major improvements in nutrition and the efficiency of production have relied on obtaining maximum nutrient utilization from feedstuffs,...

Broiler strains have different nutritional requirements depending on their specific growth performance. Because their genetic evolution might be different, Adisseo looked into the effectiveness of carbohydrase enzymes in the different genotypes. In two different trials carried out at the University of Sao Paulo, in Brazil, we demonstrated that Rovabio ® ,...

Introduction
Japanese quail egg production has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. Brazil is now one of world's major quail egg producers, with one of largest national quail flocks. Brazilian quail industry is supported by small and medium producers, typically with a chicken egg production background, and an entrepreneur spirit.

Introduction In Venezuela, one of the most important protein supply sources for the population is broiler meat, representing 65% of the total animal protein intake (Fenavi 2007). From an economical standpoint, feed represents 60 - 70 % of broiler production cost, according to the United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture (FAO) (2003). The use of exogenous enzymes...

Introduction For years, many nutritionists around the world thought that NSP enzymes and, more specifically, xylanases, provided little or no benefit when used in diets based on maize-soy. During the past 10 years, however, a large number of trials with xylanase Nutrase Xyla in maize-soy diets, both in experimental centers as in field, have shown that the product has special features....

Introduction
The majority of poultry feeds is composed by plant-origin ingredients of which most of the phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) and other minerals with a positive charge are present in the form of insoluble phytate (Maenz, 2001). Phytate is considered an antinutritional factor for monogastrics, since it structure includes highly ignitable orthophosphate groups, rious for cation...

Introduction
Phosphorous just as nitrogen and potassium, are essential nutrients for plants and are added to soils as fertilizers to improve yields. Plants absorb phosphorous as phytic acid, but it is not available for monogastric animals. Vegetable-origin food, particularly corn and soybean meal, are added in big amounts to the majority of bird diets. For this reason, inorganic sources need...

Introduction An accurate estimation of the energy value of NSP enzymes and a flexible way to incorporate this in least cost optimalisation was a subject in many broiler studies. The NSP level and NSP characteristics determine the antinutritional effect of a broiler diet and therefore these parameters are important to estimate the energy value of NSP-enzymes. Arabinoxylan (AX), quantitatively the most important NSP structure, is abundantly present in...

To prove it, Adisseo has already invested more than 1 million euros in more than 20 trials across species since 2008 to figure out the synergistic value of Rovabio ® Max, a combination of Rovabio ® Excel, Adisseo's carbohydrase and phytase.
Knowing Rovabio ® Excel and phytase effects separately is not sufficient; as they may have contrary effects, for example on feed intake. Both...

Rovabio ® , the versatile enzyme from Adisseo, has a proven efficacy on wheat and corn distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) on broilers. We evaluate that the metabolizable energy uplift with Rovabio ® Excel is about 5.5 % for corn DDGS and 7.5% for wheat DDGS.
The significant levels of cellulase and xylanase in Rovabio ® allow for breakdown of the increased...
