A new dawn in enzymes

In the continuing search to optimise animal performance through nutrition, new enzyme applications based on fibre-degrading enzymes show interesting promise. Grains typically represent about 50% of the feed protein as well as about 50% of the non-starch polysaccharide (NSP)-fibres of animal diets. By-products from grain and oil seeds are major protein sources and they represent the other 50% of total protein and fibre in European animal diets. Fibres influence animal nutrition due to the fact t
