Enzymes
Proper feeding of animals and poultry is an integral part of the successful development of the agricultural and livestock industries. It is important not only to choose high-quality feed, rich in important elements, but also to obtain their maximum digestibility by the animal's body. To accelerate the course of biochemical processes in the body, better digestion of food and its digestibility, it is necessary enzymes.
Enzymes are proteins consisting of amino acid chains and molecular compounds. They help to obtain and assimilate the maximum amount of nutrients. The speed of biochemical reactions with the use of enzymes increases hundreds of times. In addition, enzymes help animals digest food, which is sometimes not completely suitable for feeding.
The animal body itself produces some enzymes, but their number is extremely small, so the efficiency of the digestive process does not exceed 10%. In addition, enzymes help reduce the amount of waste in animals, thereby helping the environment.
Efficiency of enzyme use
The introduction of enzyme preparations allows you to change the following production indicators in livestock and poultry farming:
- The feed value of rations increases by 5-10% due to more complete extraction of nutrients and release of energy. At the same time, their digestibility increases by 6-10%;
- feed consumption per unit of production is reduced by 5-14%;
- the productivity of animals and poultry increases by 5-12 %;
- it becomes possible to replace such expensive feed components as corn and soybean meal with cheaper ones (wheat, barley, oats, rye, sunflower meal and cake) with a higher fiber content, without reducing productivity;
- the amount and humidity of droppings and, as a result, the humidity of the litter decreases;
- The ecological situation of the environment improves due to a more complete assimilation of nitrogen and phosphorus by the animal body and a reduction in the release of these substances into the environment by 20-40%.
Therefore, the correct selection and use of enzyme preparations in feed production makes it possible to reduce feeding costs and increase the productivity of animals and poultry, with the same production costs.
