The interaction between cereal quality and enzyme use in animal feed
Published:February 10, 2014
Summary
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...
Interesting paper Helen, congratulations. I hope I understood what you explained, but just in case I´d like to ask: did you want to say that endo-xylanases would be more benefitial vs exo-xylanases because the smaller XA molecules produced by the latter, AXOS vs XOS, could be less benefitial or even detrimental to the animal. And, would you say the endo-xylanases are more effective reducing the viscosity in the gut than exo-xylanases?. Many thanks for prompt answer. Regards from Madrid, Rafa.
