Bacillus subtilis plays a critical role in improving gut health of humans and animals alike. It can reach all of the large and small intestines, and this crowds out harmful bacteria to prevent disease, which raises overall immunity.

Among the enzymes that play a critical role in optimizing animal nutrition, xylanase is widely acknowledged for its ability to break down complex polysaccharides in plant-based feed ingredients, improving nutrient utilization and overall animal performance. However, in recent decades, despite advances in production, processing technologies, and utilization of by-products, xylanase enzyme technology has lagged behind, especially in flexibility required for modern diet formulation.

Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions. They are proteins, with complex structures that allow them to remain stable during the high temperatures necessary for feed manufacture, and while moving through the animal's gastrointestinal tract. One of the most important characteristics of the enzyme is its ability to break down specific substrates in precise reaction sites. The exact enzymes used in the enrichment of feedstuffs are purposefully selected to target distinct substrates used in that feed. Enzymes will only react under certain conditions. The moisture content, quantity of enzymes used, temperature, and pH levels during use must meet the enzymes' specific reactive requirements for them to function effectively.

Enzymes are proteins that assist chemical reactions in the body. Although livestock's gut microflora produce some enzymes, they do not all the enzymes in sufficient quantities to hydrolyze NSP, proteins or phytates to enable absorption of all nutrients. Enzyme supplementation improves the quality of feedstuffs and livestock, resulting in higher profit margins. Enzyme addition helps to produce more meat per animal at a much lower cost while improving the overall long-term health of the herd. Vet costs and mortality rates also decline with the use of enzyme supplements in animal feed. Enzymes come from a variety of natural sources, including plant extracts, animals, and microorganisms. Enzymes are widely used by the agricultural, brewing, biofuel, dairy, and rubber industries to boost production and minimize costs.

The cost of providing animal feed to livestock and poultry accounts for 60-70 percent of the total outlay of running a livestock or poultry business. Reducing this expense has been the goal for generations of farmers. Use of enzymes in animal feed make this goal a reality, and modern farmers have achieved phenomenal gains in the efficient and economical production of livestock. The use of enzymes in farm animal nutrition has been an important part of achieving this success while maximizing the health of the animals and minimizing the impact on the environment.

Market pressures and a growing interest in sustainability are driving interest in the use of alternative (local) raw materials in swine diets. Alternatives, especially processed raw materials and co-products, tend to be higher in phytate, fibre and indigestible protein, than the parent grain or oil-seed. This reduces feed efficiency. Therefore, the use of enzymes in swine diets containing alternative raw materials can also deliver benefits for sustainability, as losses are minimized and reduced.
