Huvepharma Research Sheds New Light on 'Elusive' Mode of Action of Fibre Degrading Enzymes
Current feed raw material difficulties have put the animal nutrition sector under pressure causing rising formulation costs, significantly impacting the profitability of the animal production sector. This has resulted in wider interest in the use of alternative raw materials, leading to increased inclusion of high-fibre agricultural by-products in animal diets. The use of fibre-degrading enzymes has been valuable in offsetting the increased anti-nutritional factors of non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) present in these ingredients and has become crucial to maximising animal performance and production efficiency.
However, full understanding of their mode of action has been elusive. Until now.
