Xylanase

Xylan is contained commonly in a variety of feed ingredients, like wheat, rye, corn, cereal by-products, soybean meal, etc. Whereas, xylan is an indigestible compound for non-ruminant, and causes a significant anti-nutritional affect by increasing chyme viscosity and preventing absorption of protein and energy. Incorporating xylanase in diets help remove anti-nutrition of xylan and reduce feed cost savings.

Functions of Xylanase

1. Break down the structure of the cell wall, especially xylan, reduce the viscosity of chyme in the intestinal tract, and improve the digestion efficiency of nutrients.

2. Improve energy utilization, reduce feed costs and improve feed quality.

3.Generate a large number of xylo-oligosaccharides, improve gut health, and stimulate animal performance.

Definition of Activity Xylanase

One unit of xylanase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that liberates 1 micromole of reducing sugar per minute from 5.0 mg/mL of xylan at pH 5.5 and 37℃.

Dosage of Xylanase

Recommended dosage in the complete feed of xylanase with 10000 U/g:100-300g/t.
