Abstract:Research has shown that supplementing diets with fibrolytic has significant potential to improve feed utilization and animal performance. Fibrolytic enzymes for ruminants, mainly xylanases and cellulases, are concentrated extracts resulting from bacterial or fungal fermentation with specific enzyme activities. Improvements in animal performance due to the use of enzyme additives can be attributed mainly to improved fiber digestion, resulting in increased caloric intake of digestible. When viewed through a vari… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
