Use of Exogenous Fibrolytic Enzymes to Improve Feed Utilization by Ruminants
@article{Beauchemin2003UseOE, title={Use of Exogenous Fibrolytic Enzymes to Improve Feed Utilization by Ruminants}, author={K. Beauchemin and D. Colombatto and D. Morgavi and W. Yang}, journal={Journal of Animal Science}, year={2003}, volume={81}, pages={37-47} }
Research has demonstrated that supplementing dairy cow and feedlot cattle diets with fiberdegrading enzymes has significant potential to improve feed utilization and animal performance. Ruminant feed enzyme additives, primarily xylanases and cellulases, are concentrated extracts resulting from bacterial or fungal fermentations that have specific enzymatic activities. Improvements in animal performance due to the use of enzyme additives can be attributed mainly to improvements in ruminal fiber… CONTINUE READING
