enzymes degrades anti-nutritional factors

[Md. Osman Sheikh]

Enzymes to feed is to improve the utilization of the feed, increasing the amount of nutrients available to the birds which improves their health, lowers feed cost for the farmers and reduces farm waste volume.

[Md. Abdul Bari]

Enzymes such as phytase break down phytate, a form of phosphorus that is indigestible for many animals, making phosphorus more bioavailable. This reduces the need for inorganic phosphorus supplements.

Other enzymes like xylanases and beta-glucanases break down non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs), improving the digestibility of energy and nutrients.
