Mannanase Enzyme in Poultry Feed: Reduce Anti-Nutritional Factors

Image
The Role of Mannanase Enzyme in Reducing Anti-Nutritional Factors in Poultry Diets You’re feeding your birds right. Or at least, that’s what it looks like on paper. But somehow, they’re just not growing like they should. The problem? It could be something you can’t see — anti-nutritional factors hiding in the feed. One of the main culprits? β-mannans . And your best defence? The mannanase enzyme . These stubborn compounds slow digestion, waste energy, and trigger gut inflammation. But when you add the mannanase enzyme to the mix, things change fast — better digestion, improved weight gain, and lower feed costs. It’s a simple shift with big impact. What Makes Mannanase Enzyme So Effective? Let’s simplify this. Soybean meal is a big part of poultry feed. But it’s also high in β-mannans. These trigger false immune responses in birds, causing stress and wasting nutrients. The mannanase enzyme breaks down β-mannans into harmless, absorbable sugars. This reduces gut irritation, a...

Enhancing Livestock Nutrition with Phytase Enzymes: Introducing ADPHOS™ by ABTL

Image
In livestock feed and nutrition, phosphorus is an important macronutrient associated with growth, reproduction, and feed efficiency. The problem lies in the fact that a large portion of the phosphorus from plant ingredients tends to be unavailable to the animals, resulting in nutrient wastage and the necessity of other phosphate sources. Advanced Bio-Agro Tech Ltd. (ABTL), the enzyme-based animal nutrition company, has the perfect fit for this challenge with their phytase enzymes technology— ADPHOS ™—to release and make use of the phosphorus that is present in the feed but not available for animal use. How ADPHOS™ Works in Livestock Nutrition: Enhancing Phosphorus Bioavailability Phytase enzyme developed for the purpose of unlocking phosphorus that is usually locked in various feed plants. To improve this benefit, medications like ADPHOS™ allow the utilization of such nutrients, thereby eliminating inorganic phosphate supplements, thus lowering costs and maxim...

Understanding Cecal Fermentation in the Poultry Digestive System: The Hidden Process Behind Efficient Digestion

Image
Poultry digestive system is a complicated but interesting process with hidden gems: ' Cecal Fermentation. ’ Here's why this process is crucial:   The diet of chickens is very different from that of mammals. One important difference is the presence of two small ceca located at the junction of the small and large intestines. These ceca are the heart of ‘ Cecal fermentation. ’ Inside the ceca, a special group of bacteria breaks down indigestible fibers from plant material. This fermentation process converts these fibers into volatile fatty acids, which the birds can absorb for energy. This part of the poultry digestive system is necessary to use nutrients that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Cecal fermentation plays an important role in the birds' energy needs. Especially in foods that are high in fiber. This process will help increase the energy needed. It helps birds survive on a variety of foods that may be less nut...
