Exogenous Enzymes as Zootechnical Additives in Animal Feed: A Review (2021, background): “Moreover, the addition of the enzyme improves the antinutritive effects, but it did not improve the problems associated with increased bacterial fermentation and an accumulation of lactic acid in the large intestine, yet the use of these enzymes is recommended due to the acceptable quality of the fe”
Xylanases from fungi: properties and industrial applications (2005, background): “These enzymes break down arabinoxylans in the ingredients of the feed, reducing the viscosity of the raw material (Twomey et al. 2003).”
Screening of filamentous fungi for production of enzymes of biotechnological interest (2006, background): “On the other hand, in the industry of animal feed, the xylanases can be added to the ration increasing the intestinal absorption of nutrients (15).”
Feed non-starch polysaccharides for monogastric animals: classification and function (2015, background): “In addition, there is a clear negative relationship between the amount of NSP and the nutritive value in poultry (Choct and Annison 1990; Annison 1991), in pets (dogs and cats) (Earle et al. 1998; Twomey et al. 2003) and in pigs (King andTaverner 1975).”
β-Xylosidases from filamentous fungi: an overview (2010, background): “These enzymes increase the metabolizable energy and reduce the food viscosity, leading to animal weight gain (Conte et al. 2002; Twomey et al. 2003; Polizeli et al. 2005).”
