Abstract
A xylanase-containing feed additive for cereal animal feed is described to facilitate degradation of insoluble glucuronoxylan.
Claims40
An additive for animal feed comprising corn or rice, said feed additive comprising at least one enzyme having glucuronoxylanase activity and at least one enzyme having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity wherein degradation of insoluble glucuronoxylan is greater than if either enzyme was used alone.
A feed additive comprising at least one enzyme with glucuronoxylanase activity and at least one enzyme having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity wherein said combination is better in stimulating growth of beneficial bacteria in a digestive tract of a monogastric animal fed a corn based diet when compared to the use of the xylanase having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity alone.
A feed additive comprising at least one enzyme with glucuronoxylanase activity and at least one enzyme having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity wherein said combination is capable of increasing production of at least one short chain fatty acid in a monogastric animal fed a corn based diet when compared to the use of the xylanase having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity alone.
A corn or rice-based animal feed comprising at least one enzyme with glucuronoxylanase activity and at least one enzyme having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity wherein degradation of insoluble glucuronoxylan is greater than if either enzyme was used alone.
A corn-based animal feed comprising at least one enzyme with glucuronoxylanase activity and at least one enzyme having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity wherein said combination is better in stimulating growth of beneficial bacteria in a digestive tract of a monogastric animal when compared to the use of the xylanase having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity alone.
A corn-based animal feed comprising at least one enzyme with glucuronoxylanase activity and at least one enzyme having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity wherein said combination is capable of increasing production of at least one short chain fatty acid in a monogastric animal when compared to the use of the xylanase having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity alone.
A method for degrading insoluble glucuronoxylan in an animal feed comprising corn or rice comprising contacting the corn or rice with at least one enzyme with glucuronoxylanase activity and at least one enzyme having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity.
A method for improving the digestibility of insoluble glucuronoxylan in a corn or rice-based animal feed comprising administering to an animal a corn or rice-based animal feed comprising at least one enzyme with glucuronoxylanase activity and at least one enzyme having endo-beta-1,4-xylanase activity.
