Main Description It is now well recognised that enzymes can be added to animal feeds to improve the efficiency of raw material digestion. This book provides a review of current knowledge of such enzymes, including their mode of action, interaction with intestinal physiology, economic and environmental impacts and application of technology into diets for different farm animal species. No other book specifically on this topic Information of relevance to both academic researchers and commercial feed companies Provides the latest information on this fastest growing area of animal feed technology Main Contents Contributors Preface The current feed enzyme market and likely trends, C Sheppy Enzymology and other characteristics of cellulases and xylanases, M K Bhat and G P Hazlewood Enzymatic characteristics of phytases as they relate to their use in animal feeds, D D Maenz Analysis of feed enzymes, B V McCleary Maize-factors affecting its digestibility and variability in its feeding value, J D Summers Vegetable protein meals and the effects on enzymes, J Thorpe and J D Beal Enzyme supplementation of poultry diets based on viscous cereals, M Choct The role and efficacy of carbohydrase enzymes in pig nutrition, G Partridge Interaction between cereal identity and fat quality and content in response to feed enzymes in broilers, S D鋘icke Digestion of phosphorus and other nutrients – The role of phytases and factors influencing their activity, E T Kornegay Enzymes in ruminant diets, T A McAllister, A N Hristov, K A Beauchemin, L M Rode and K-J Cheng Microbial interactions in the response to exogenous enzyme utilization, M Bedford and J Apajalahti Enzymes: Screening, expression, design and production, K Clarkson, B Jones, R Bott, B Bower, G Chotani and T Becker Liquid application systems for feed enzymes, P Steen Process stability and methods of detection of feed enzymes in complete diets, M R Bedford, F G Silversides and W D Cowan Future horizons, R R Marquardt and M Bedford
