Hasta hace poco, el uso de enzimas en estas dietas se restringía a las fitasas, centrado principalmente en la reducción del impacto ambiental de la producción. Pero hay nuevas opciones en el mercado de productos alternativos como carbohidrasas (xilanasa y glucanasa). ¿Cómo incluirlas en el alimento?HomeDrying weather-damaged grain for poultryVery wet wheat, harvested after poor weather, is often unsuitable for human food uses. Such harvest conditions often result in germination and increased levels of amylase and protease. These enzymes are related to decreased loaf size and poor gluten strength in bakery products and, as a result, this damaged wheat may be sold into the animal feed market.Page 1 of 1
