Oxfan International new crop report available

The food price must double in 20-year time, unless the world's leaders promote a series of important reforms, warned the British NGO Oxfan International. Through 2030, the average cost of the key crops from human consumption must grow between 120% and 150%, forecast the NGO in its latest report Growing a Better Future.

Caine et al., 1998 | This graphic demonstrates how the variability of corn impacts the feed conversion ratio (FCR) without enzymes and, in contrast, with the use of an amylase, xylanase and protease enzyme combination (XAP). It shows a benefit of around four points in FCR (2.6 percent) and a reduction in FCR variance of approximately 23 percent. The study used 56 corn samples.Xylanase targets NSPs in the fiber fraction of the grain to release captured nutrients.1Amylase increases the hydrolysis of starch, improving its digestibility, complementing the secretion of endogenous amylases by the bird and resulting in more energy being released to fuel growth.2Protease improves the accessibility of starch via degradation of the endosperm matrix.3 It also targets other ANFs in the diet, ex: trypsin inhibitors and lectins in soybean meal.4
