Abstract:
The use of enzymes in the production of feed additives is a key aspect of
biotechnology in feed production. Potases are one of the most modern innovative products used in animal diets. Proteases allow animals to better absorb nutrients from feed. Thus, the enzyme-probiotic supplement
"Immunobacterin-D" contains cultures of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and enzymes (protease and lipase). The enzyme-probiotic complex provides polyvector action in the digestive
tract in general and the rumen in particular. The amount of protease added to compound feed depends on the age and species of farm animals for which the enzyme is intended. Research carried out by research institutes, namely, the JBS company, which is a world leader in the field of veterinary medicine and animal nutrition, together with FUV annually conducts numerous studies that confirm the need for the use of
protease. Practical experience shows that the growth of animals is significantly greater when using high-quality compound feed with the use of proteases than without the addition of additional enzymes. On the market of Ukraine, the Enzym company manufactures animal feed additives under the EnzActive brand. Additives are made on the basis of yeast cells, contain a complex of nutrients
that can replace antibiotics and artificial growth stimulants in the feed of farm animals. EnzActive MIX probiotic-enzyme complex contains a unique combination of live yeast of
the genus Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a complex of 6 enzymes (protease, cellulase, xinalase, glucoamylase, β-glucanase, phytase), which catalyze the hydrolysis of carbohydrates that are part
of cell walls and starch grains instead of glycosidic connections. Biologically active substances play the role of catalysts of metabolic processes and increase
the coefficients of digestion and assimilation of feed nutrients. Therefore, further study of biotechnological processes and development of technologies for obtaining biologically active substances, including enzymes, is promising.
