Dr PIET SIMONS Past President World’s Poultry Science Association Ambassador Dutch Poultry Centre VIV India 2010, Bangalore, India February 2010

Main types of enzymes used in animal nutrition:  NSP-enzymes:  Glucanases  Pectinases  Pentosanases (xylanases)  Phytases  Other enzymes  Amylase; Proteases; Galactosidase

NSP enzymes in broilers: an example Set-up: Male and female broilers (Cobb) ; 7 - 35 days of age ; 6 cages (20 animals each) / treatment Feed: 38% barley, 38% wheat, 13% soybean meal; Enzyme addition: 0, 50, 100 or 150 ppm Natugrain ® Blend Results

Mode of action of NSP-enzymes

Different hypotheses are known and tested  Total hydrolysis of polysaccharides into sugars (monosaccharides)  Opening of cell walls to liberate its contents  Viscosity  Effect on microflora

NSP-enzymes: advantages

 Improved fat digestion  Improved protein digestion  Improved energy metabolisation  Improved litter quality  Improved carcass quality  Improved health status  …….

Phytase

Introduction

Seventies

:  Manure problem Netherlands (poultry, pigs, cattle)  Started as phosphorus and copper problem  Monogastrians do not utisize phytic phosphorus when phytase is absent  Later also nitrogen and heavy metal problems

Late seventies; beginning eighties

 Measured inorganic phosphorus and phytic phosphorus in feedstuffs used  Table was made and for feed value calculations just inorganic phosphorus was considered as available  Started talks about production of phytase

Middle eighties

 Manure law Netherlands; rules for maxima phosphorus and nitrogen to be added to land  Removing manure from farms costs a lot of money  Start research production phytase

End eighties

 Research production phytase  Looking for right microorganism, purification, increase production (Aspergillus ficuum strain VRRL 3135)  Experiments with poultry and pigs

entitled

‘Improvement of phosphorus availability by microbial phytase in broilers and pigs’

, which appeared in the

British Journal of Nutrition

in September 1990, 64 (525-540). Interrogation of the

Why effect on performance

Phytate binds nutrients:  Cations (Ca, Zn, …)  Protein  Starch  Fat (??) Phytase relases those nutrient

A model of phytate

Modified from Kies, 2005

With phytase

 Improved performance  Increased protein (amino acid) digestigility  Increased energy metabolizability

Conclusions on enzymes

      Phytate-phosphorus badly available for poultry Addition of phytase improves P availability Reduction of P-exretion about 30% Phytate binds nutrients: cations, protein, starch Phytase increases protein digestibility and energy metabolizability Phytase is highly economical in poultry feeds; it saves expensive raw materials. Savings 2 to 6 Euro / ton (without maximum P level; otherwise higher!!)
