by adding enzymes to feed, the digestibility can be improved.
Feed enzymes are now a well-proven and successful tool that allows
feed producers to extend the range of raw materials used in feed, and
to improve the efficiency of existing formulations.
SPCo offers a wide range of enzyme preparations to the animal feed
industry. Our enzymes degrade substances such as phytate, glucan,
starch, protein, pectin-like polysaccharides, xylan, raffinose and
stachyose. Hemicellulose and cellulose can also be degraded.
Pigs and poultry are the most interesting types of animal when it
comes to adding enzymes to feed because their digestive systems do
not produce enzymes capable of breaking down plant cell walls. The
digestive tract has to break down the feed into a form that the animals
can absorb and utilize. The idea of adding our commercial enzymes is
to help catalyze this process to make the best possible use of the feed.
The main benefits of supplementing feed with enzymes, as revealed by
the many feed trials carried out to date, are faster growth of the animal;
better feed utilization (feed conversion ratio); more uniform production;
better health status and an improved environment.
