The role of feed compound enzymes
Release time:
2023-11-21
An enzyme is a protein with specialized functions that plays a unique role in animal bodies. In order for feed to be digested and absorbed by animals, it must undergo a series of chemical reactions—and enzymes serve as the catalysts for these reactions. Enzymes can accelerate the rate at which feed is digested and absorbed. Enzymes exhibit specificity in their action: different enzymes catalyze only specific substances and have no effect on other substances. For example, amylase promotes the digestion of starch only, while protease promotes the digestion of proteins only.
Enzyme products with catalytic activity produced through bioengineering methods are called enzyme preparations. There are many types of enzymes, generally categorized into two main groups: single-enzyme preparations and compound enzyme preparations. Among these, the enzyme preparations primarily added to animal feed include: Amylase, protease, cellulase, β-glucanase, pectinase, phytase, complex enzymes, and others.
The effects of adding enzyme preparations to feed are as follows:
1. Adding enzyme preparations to feed can compensate for the insufficient activity of endogenous enzymes, particularly by addressing the deficiency and low activity of digestive enzymes in young animals.
2. Adding enzyme preparations to feed can reduce or eliminate antinutritional factors in the feed.
3. Adding enzyme preparations to feed can reduce the viscosity of digesta in the gastrointestinal tract, increase the effective absorption area of the intestinal wall, and promote the contact and absorption rate of nutrients with the gastrointestinal mucosa.
4. Adding enzyme preparations to feed can alter the distribution of gut microbiota, among other effects.
Compound enzyme It is a product composed of two or more enzymes with biological activity. Compound enzymes are formulated according to the specific characteristics of different animals and various growth stages, exhibiting excellent efficacy and currently serving as the most commonly used feed additive.
The role of enzyme-based feed additives
Directly breaks down nutrients, thereby enhancing feed utilization. A variety of active enzymes can efficiently decompose and digest certain macromolecular compounds in feed into nutrients that are easily absorbed by animals, or break them down into smaller nutrient fragments for further digestion by other digestive enzymes. Some macromolecular substances are difficult for animals to break down and absorb on their own; therefore, the addition of enzyme preparations can promote the breakdown and digestion of nutrients in feed, thus improving feed utilization.
Eliminate anti-nutritional factors and improve digestive function. Plant-based ingredients contain certain non-starch polysaccharides, pectin, phytates, and cellulose polymers, which increase the content and viscosity of the animal’s gastrointestinal tract, thereby affecting the animal’s digestion and absorption of essential nutrients. Enzyme preparations contain a variety of enzymes, especially... β-glucanase, pectinase, phytase, and cellulase can break down these substances into smaller molecules, thereby reducing the viscosity of materials in the digestive tract, effectively eliminating the adverse effects of these antinutritional factors, and improving the digestive performance of animals.
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.
