Australia: Danisco highlights enzyme use at Poultry Congress

New generation heat stable E. Coli phytases, improving the feeding value of distillers dried grains with solubles and enzyme solutions to maximise use of corn/soy diets were just some of the latest cutting edge research presented by Danisco Animal Nutrition at the World Poultry Congress in Brisbane, Australia recently. Presentations from Danisco Animal Nutrition included a poster by Dr Ceinwen Gilbert, technical services manager, comparing the bioefficacy of two coated phytases for broilers fed corn/soybean meal based diets. Soren Dalsgaard, a senior scientist with Danisco, presented a poster which examined how enzyme technology can be used to reduce certain anti-nutritional factors in distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Another senior scientist at Danisco Animal Nutrition, Dr Aaron Cowieson, presented two papers which examined how feed enzymes can improve the feeding value of corn/soy based diets by adding a xylanase, amylase and protease enzyme combination to a corn/soy based broiler diet.
