Arabinofuranosidases: the revolution to boost the efficacy of xylanases
Published in All About Feed - Issue 1, 2016
Arabinofuranosidases appeared to be a revolution in the efficacy of xylanases to break down hemicellulose in plants. They allow to boost the total feed digestibility from energy to protein. To improve the expression of those targeted enzymes, a new method was developed.
Formulating poultry diets based on their indigestible components
Published in Poultry Science, Volume 93, Issue 9, 2014
Since it started as an organized economic activity, poultry production has been undergoing an evolution toward the optimization of its feed formulation features. Notably, advances in the knowledge of birds’ nutrient requirements have allowed recommendations that are increasingly closer to the needs of the birds…
Feed enzymes: The science, practice, and metabolic realities
Published in The Journal of Applied Poultry Research, Volume 22, Issue 3, 2013
The use of exogenous feed enzymes in poultry diets is becoming a norm to overcome the adverse effects of antinutritional factors and improve digestion of dietary components and bird performance. In this paper, an overview of the science behind the use of feed enzymes and the current status of enzyme technology is provided…
