ISSUE FOCUS 36 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2024 feed technology. This enzyme is tailored to break down a broad spectrum of substrates found in typical corn-soy and wheat-soy diets, enabling the inclusion of a higher proportion of cost-effective ingredients. Its robust activity in producing prebiotic oligomers from arabinoxylan indicates a significant potential to enhance the microbiota’s health and functionality. The comprehensive benefits derived from using this advanced xylanase are clear. Birds maintain a balanced digestive system that is better equipped to handle environmental and health challenges, leading to improved performance. For nutritionists, this enzyme provides a dependable tool to optimize feed formulations flexibly and cost-effectively, especially crucial during times of supply fluctuations and raw material price volatility. The inherent thermostability of this xylanase ensures that it remains effective under a wide range of feed processing conditions, further emphasizing its suitability for all types of poultry feed. CONCLUSION The innovative GH10 xylanase enzyme offers substantial benefits over traditional formulations, supporting not just enhanced growth and efficiency in broiler diets but also contributing significantly to gut health through its prebiotic effects, achieved through the production of prebiotic oligosaccharides that support beneficial bacteria. Its introduction marks a significant advancement in poultry nutrition, aligning with the modern demands of efficiency and sustainability.
