Animal Feed Enzymes

Animal feed is predominantly composed of plant material, mainly cereals and vegetable proteins. Much of this cannot be fully digested and utilized, especially by monogastric animals.
However, feed utilization and digestion can be increased by the addition of external enzymes to the feed.

Anti-nutritional factors are feed constituents which limit nutritional availability and adversely affect  performance. NSP is the most important anti-nutritional factor which makes up the cell wall carbohydrates (e.g Arabino Xylans and Beta Glucans).

As cell wall constituents, NSPs entrap easily digestible nutrients in the cell interior making it difficult for the body's own digestive enzymes to gain access (cage effect). By forming these cages, NSPs limit the Apparent Metabolizable energy (AME) significantly. Also due to high water absorbtion and swelling capacity, NSPs cause increase in intesti nal content viscisity fin ally resulting in slower intestinal passage, lower food intake and impared digestivity.

Epygen Feed Enzymes added directly to the feed acts as supplements to the normal digestive enzymes and carry out converting complex food molecules into easily digestible fragments. Poultry diets rich in high protein and high energy sources needs to be augmented by Epygen multi enzyme cocktail concentrates containing the required levels of Protease, Amylase,Phytase, Lipase, Xylanase (and other hemicellulases) suitable for a wide range of broiler and layer diets.  Epygen feed Enzyme cocktail concentrates can be diluted to a wide variety of poultry and farm feed.
