α-Galactosidase
Description
α-Galactosidase is a feed hemicellulose produced by a liquid submerged fermentation and advanced post-treatment technique. α-Galactosidase can degrade galactosides, such as stachyose and raffinose, which can be fermented by microorganism in gut and cause flatulence in the intestine. α- galactosidase prevents flatulence and diarrhea.

Definition of activity
One unit of α-galactosidase activity (U) is defined as the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 millimole of paranitrophenol per minute from 5 mmol/L of paranitrophenol-α-D-galactopyranose solution at pH 5.5 and 37 ℃.
Functions
1. Destroy the cell wall structure synergized with the other enzymes and promote the release of nutrients.
2. Degrade galactosides such as stachyose and raffinose. Inhibition fermentation of microorganism in hindgut, reduce harmful substances such as amine and methane.
3. Improve the activity of endogenous protease, promote the production of polypeptide and control the diarrhea caused by indigestion.
4. Increase animal’s immunity, and improve animal health.
Dosage
Recommended dosage in complete feed of α-galactosidase with 2000 U/g:50-150g/t. Increase or reduce the dosage according to the particular feed materials and season.
