Feed Is the Biggest Cost in Poultry Farming — But What If You’re Not Using It All?
Today, poultry farmers face a unique problem. As demand for poultry products grows rapidly, especially in developing countries, the cost of feeding birds is rising even faster. Feed contributes to nearly 60–70% of total production costs, and the supply of traditional ingredients like maize and soybean is struggling to keep up.
To bridge the gap, producers are shifting toward locally available ingredients like wheat bran, rice bran, sunflower meal, or palm meal. These are cost-effective, sure — but they also introduce a new challenge: lower digestibility. Birds often can’t access the full energy in these feeds.
That’s where feed enzymes, particularly amylase enzyme in poultry feed, come into play. And this is exactly where ABTL steps in with its enzyme-based precision nutrition solutions.
What Does Amylase Do?
Amylase is an enzyme that helps break down starch in feed into simple sugars. These sugars are what birds use for energy, growth, and productivity. While poultry naturally produce amylase in their gut, it’s often not enough to process all the starch — especially in feeds high in cereal-based ingredients like corn or wheat.
ABTL recognizes this gap and offers targeted enzyme technologies to bridge it. Adding amylase enzyme in poultry feed helps birds extract more energy from what they eat. It’s like giving them an extra tool to do the job better, faster, and more efficiently.

Why ABTL Recommends Amylase for Feed Efficiency
Because 15–25% of feed often goes undigested without enzyme support. That means you’re paying for feed your birds aren’t even using.
With ABTL's enzymatic formulations, including amylase, that changes.
Our technical data shows:
Increased digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, and starch
Higher Apparent Metabolizable Energy (AME) values in diets
Better ileal digestibility of both essential (Lysine, Leucine) and non-essential amino acids (Tyrosine, Alanine)
With ABTL’s enzyme support, more of the feed turns into usable energy, leading to stronger growth and better performance.
Supporting Alternative Feed Strategies with ABTL
ABTL understands that cost is a critical factor. Our amylase-based enzyme solutions are especially effective when feed formulation includes alternative, local ingredients like faba beans, cassava stems, or yam peel.
Our trials show that with the right enzymatic supplementation, you can maintain or even improve performance on these less conventional diets.
Producers using ABTL's amylase-enhanced protocols have reported:
Improved weight gain and growth rates
Consistent flock performance
Reduced wet droppings and gut stress

Where ABTL's Amylase Works Best
Research from ABTL shows that amylase activity is highest in the jejunum, where nutrient absorption peaks. That’s why our feed enzyme solutions are formulated for optimal release and performance in this specific gut region.
The result? Rapid starch breakdown, smoother digestion, and improved energy absorption from each gram of feed.
Sustainability and Feed Cost Management — The ABTL Way
ABTL’s feed enzymes don’t just improve digestion. They directly contribute to:
Lower nitrogen and phosphorus waste
Better litter quality
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
By helping birds use their feed more efficiently, our solutions also reduce your environmental footprint.
Compatible with ABTL's Multi-Enzyme Strategy
Amylase doesn’t work in isolation. At ABTL, we develop enzyme systems that can be combined with xylanase, protease, and other NSP-targeting enzymes for comprehensive digestive support.
This approach helps producers tailor feed efficiency programs for specific challenges, whether it's corn-soya diets or feed with high fibre content.
