Xylanase


Description

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

Definition of activity

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℃.


Functions

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

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

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


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