- 摘要：
- By focusing on more efficient, cost-effective enzymeproduction, the partnership seeks to bolster the well-being of chickens, pigs, and cows.With the agricultural sector facing increased volatility due to rising feed costs and narrowingmargins, the companies say this collaborative effort comes at an opportune time. Innovationsin feed enzyme technology are expected to support producers by lowering costs whilemaintaining or even improving the nutritional quality of animal products, they add.The initial focus of the collaboration is on developing next-generation enzymes, withimproved efficacy. Protease enzymes, for instance, can increase the availability of aminoacids in poultry and swine feed, while also mitigating the negative effects of anti-nutritionalfactors like trypsin inhibitors, which means reduced excess indigestible protein in the cecumthat can lead to enteric challenges. “This ultimately supports gut health and overallperformance,” says Gaurav Shah, associate director of external innovation and businessdevelopment at Novus.
