Bionetix® International has unveiled ECP1611, its new high-efficiency protease enzyme that can be used in industries such as animal feed and agriculture. When used as a feed supplement or additive, the company claims that ECP1611™ can aid livestock digestion and enhance feed quality.
Canada-based company Bionetix® International has introduced its fourth enzyme concentrate, ECP1611™. Available in powder form, this high-efficiency protease enzyme with keratinase activity can be used in a wide range of industries—such as animal feed and agriculture. The company explains that ECP1611™ hydrolyzes both general proteins and keratin-rich substances into smaller molecules, making it ideal for applications that deal with feathers and similar substances. In a world where protein is ubiquitous and microbially sourced enzymes are gaining popularity, Bionetix® points out that ECP1611™ meets an important need for manufacturers and formulators who require a biological catalyst for better products and processes.
ENRICHING ANIMAL FEED AND AGRICULTURE
When used as a feed supplement or additive, ECP1611™ can aid livestock digestion and enhance feed quality by breaking down proteins, according to the company’s claim. Going one step farther, it can be used to manage waste in the food industry by helping convert discarded high-protein materials, such as feathers and other keratin-rich poultry features, into nutrient-rich livestock feeds or organic fertilizers.
Bionetix states that ECP1611™ serves as a powerful biological catalyst ready to serve customers’ protein-hydrolysis needs.
