Effects of Different Levels of Supplementary Alpha-amylase on Digestive Enzyme Activities and Pancreatic Amylase mRNA Expression of Young Broilers (2008, background): “The mode of action of enzymes has been reviewed (Bedford, 2000; Cowieson, 2005) and many of these studies emphasized the ameliorative effect of”
Strategic use of feed ingredients and feed additives to stimulate gut health and development in young pigs. (2010, background): “In addition to improved nutrient utilization, enzymes may improve performance of young pigs through the production of a variety of polysaccharide hydrolysis products that have a direct effect on intestinal health by manipulating the growth of gastrointestinal microorganisms (Vahjen et al., 1998; Bed”
Review: Supplementation of phytase and carbohydrases to diets for poultry (2011, background): “Non-starch polysaccharides are indigestible by poultry (Bedford 2000), and they can reduce the availability of nutrients within the cells by encapsulation (Bedford and Schuzle 1998).”
The effects of xylanase supplementation on performance, characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract, blood parameters and gut microflora in broilers fed on wheat-based diets (2008, background): “Enzymes hydrolyse part of NSP reducing digesta viscosity in the small intestine (Bedford and Classen, 1992), improving nutrient digestibility and modifying the gut microflora (Meng et al., 2005; Simon, 1998; Choct et al., 1999; Bedford, 2000; Engberg et al., 2004).”
