Enzymes role
What role do enzymes play in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in chickens?Here are two questions related to poultry metabolism:
1. How do different types of feed ingredients affect the energy metabolism of poultry?
2. What role do enzymes play in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in chickens? -

Without enzymes there will be NO digestion of nutrients, period! Ingredients may contain antinutritional factors that can interfere with enzymatic activity in the gastrointestinal tract of birds. An example are the trypsin inhibitors present in raw legume seeds. Other ingredients may interfere with enzymatic digestion because contain soluble fibrous agents that increase digesta viscosity and hence reduce nutrient digestion and absorption.

Good discussion

Enzymes help chickens digest and absorb nutrients by breaking down complex nutrients into simpler forms. This process improves nutrient availability and feed digestibilit
