Enzymes play a crucial role in animal nutrition, and their use in feed has been growing steadily over the years. This book provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects of enzyme-supplemented animal feeds, from alpha-galactosidases to xylanases. It begins by detailing the history and size of the feed enzyme market, before exploring how feed enzymes are manufactured and employed in different diets.

One of the significant advancements in this field is the use of enzymes in fish and shrimp diets. Researchers have discovered that enzymes can improve the growth and feed conversion efficiency of these aquatic animals, leading to increased profitability for farmers. The book also discusses new understanding of how phytases function in the animal, NSPase research, and the extended use of enzymes in ruminant markets.

In addition to its coverage of enzyme-supplemented animal feeds, the book provides comprehensive coverage of all topics relating to the production, use, cooperativity, and analysis of feed enzymes. It includes brand-new chapters on combinations of enzymes, antibiotic-free diets, and how to measure response in feed-enzyme trials.

This book is a valuable resource for academics, students, professionals, and enthusiasts in animal nutrition and production. It offers a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the role of enzymes in animal feed and their potential applications in improving animal performance and productivity.
