The Important Role of Feed Compound Enzymes in Aquaculture
Release time:
2025-05-14
In modern animal husbandry, Feed compound enzyme As an efficient additive, it plays an indispensable role, bringing numerous benefits to the aquaculture industry and powerfully driving its development.
Improve the nutritional value of feed
Feed compound enzymes can effectively break down the middle lamella of plant cell walls, exposing the cellular contents and releasing enclosed nutrients such as proteins and starches. This allows these nutrients to come into full contact with and be efficiently degraded by the animal’s endogenous digestive enzymes, thereby enhancing the nutritional value of the feed. For example, adding a compound enzyme preparation to pigs’ diets can improve the digestibility of proteins and organic matter, increase the pigs’ absorption and utilization of nutrients, better meet their nutritional requirements, and thus promote their growth.
Eliminate anti-nutritional factors
Plant-based feed ingredients often contain polymers such as non-starch polysaccharides, pectin, and cellulose, which have strong antinutritional effects. For example, water-soluble non-starch polysaccharides, when dissolved in water, exhibit high viscosity and water-holding capacity, thereby increasing the viscosity of the digesta in the animal’s gastrointestinal tract and reducing the digestibility and utilization efficiency of dietary nutrients. However, feed compound enzymes—including cellulase, xylanase, β-glucanase, and pectinase—can degrade these antinutritional factors, breaking them down into smaller molecules, reducing digesta viscosity, enhancing feed utilization, and improving the animal’s digestion and absorption of feed nutrients. This, in turn, optimizes the animal’s digestive function and ultimately improves their growth performance.
Supplementing insufficient endogenous enzymes
When young animals or animals are subjected to stress—such as high or low temperatures, cold weather, group transfers, illness, or weaning—their own endogenous digestive enzyme production tends to be weaker or more prone to digestive dysfunction, resulting in insufficient secretion of endogenous digestive enzymes. Feed-based compound enzymes can compensate for the deficiency of the animal’s own endogenous enzymes and stimulate the animal’s own enzyme secretion, providing more substrates available for enzymatic breakdown. This, in turn, improves feed digestibility and enhances the animal’s productive performance.
Improve animal health conditions
Feed complex enzymes can degrade non-starch polysaccharides in feed, producing oligosaccharides. These oligosaccharides can inhibit the proliferation of Escherichia coli and Streptococcus in the animal intestine, while also helping to improve and enhance the animal’s immune system and immune capacity. For example, adding a complex enzyme preparation to broiler diets can reduce the risk of Clostridium perfringens infection in broilers, thereby enhancing their disease resistance and antioxidant capacity. In pig diets, the inclusion of non-starch polysaccharide digesting enzymes can effectively lower pig mortality rates. The arabinoxylans produced by enzyme hydrolysis act as prebiotics, regulating the gut microbiota and boosting the animals’ resistance.
Improve the economic benefits of aquaculture.
By improving the digestibility and utilization of feed, animals can better absorb nutrients, thereby promoting their growth and development and enhancing their production performance. For example, adding a compound enzyme preparation to layer feed can increase egg-laying rates and reduce the feed-to-egg ratio; adding a duck-specific enzyme preparation to meat duck feed can significantly improve meat quality, accelerate growth, enhance feed conversion efficiency, lower feed costs, and ultimately boost the economic benefits of duck farming.
Reduce environmental pollution
Feed compound enzymes can enhance the digestibility and absorption of nutrients in feed, reduce the excretion of undigested nutrients in animal manure, and lower the environmental pollution caused by substances such as nitrogen and phosphorus. This aligns with the requirements of modern ecological farming and helps promote the sustainable development of the livestock industry.
Enhance feed palatability
During the breakdown of macromolecular substances, feed compound enzymes can reduce the viscosity of intestinal contents, improve feed palatability, increase animal feed intake, and further promote animal growth.
In summary, feed compound enzymes play a multifaceted and crucial role in aquaculture, bringing significant economic and ecological benefits to the industry. Their application holds great promise and deserves widespread promotion and use in aquaculture production.
Latest experiment
Broiler Glucose Oxidase Experiment
One-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were selected, with a total of 4 chicken houses, each housing 11,000 birds. The birds were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, with 2 chicken houses assigned to each group. The control group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with Changle (allicin and oregano phenol) at 100 mL/ton, while the treatment group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with glucose oxidase at 100 U/L. During the trial period, birds had free access to feed and water. The trial lasted for 42 days. The experimental diet consisted of corn, soybean meal, wheat, cottonseed meal, DDGS, peanut meal, duck fat, and premixes, among other ingredients; nutritional parameters are shown in Table 1.
Lactic Acid Bacteria Experiment
Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria on Broiler Diarrhea: A Raising Experiment Experimental Site: Jiyang Zheng* Animal Husbandry Farm Experiment Period: August 31, 2015 – September 4, 2015 Experimental Subjects: 30-day-old broilers Experimental Design: Control Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water Experimental Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water + lactic acid bacteria (liquid)
Piglet Fruit Milk Flavor Experiment
Twenty 28-day-old weaned piglets of the Duroc × Landrace × Large White crossbreed, with similar body weights and in good health, were selected for the trial. They were randomly divided into two treatment groups: a control group and a test group. The control group was fed a basal diet, while the test group was fed a basal diet supplemented with 600 g/t of fruit-milk flavoring. Each group consisted of five replicates, with two piglets per replicate. During the trial period, the pigs had free access to feed and water, and the trial lasted for 28 days.
In this trial, 120 healthy, growing pigs of similar body condition, weighing 80 ± 10 kg, were randomly divided into a control group, an antibiotic group, and an essential oil group. The specific feeding design is shown in Table 1. Each group consisted of 4 replicates, with 10 pigs per replicate. The trial duration was 29 days. The experimental diet was formulated according to the nutritional requirements outlined in NRC (2012). During the trial, pigs had free access to feed and water, and were subjected to routine husbandry management and vaccination protocols. Body weights at the beginning and end of the trial, as well as feed intake, were recorded. At the end of the trial, fresh fecal samples were collected from each pig, placed into sterile 10 ml centrifuge tubes, and stored at -80℃.
Tian Yikang replaces chlortetracycline in the ROSS-308 trial.
This experiment employed a single-factor experimental design. A total of 6,000 Ross-308 broiler chickens, aged 1 day and with roughly similar body weights and good health conditions, were randomly selected and divided into three treatment groups, with five replicates per group, each replicate consisting of 400 chickens. The control group was fed a basal diet based on corn and soybean meal. The experimental group 1, the antibiotic group, had 50 g/t of a 15% chlortetracycline premix added to the basal diet. The experimental group 2, the Tianyikang addition group, had 1,500 g/t of Tianyikang added to the basal diet. The entire experiment lasted for 42 days.
Since 1998, focused on animal feed intake and health.
