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.

Feed additives are substances added to animal feed to enhance its nutritional value, improve animal health, and promote growth. They have become an essential part of modern animal production systems due to their ability to improve animal performance, reduce feed costs, and enhance food safety. The use of feed additives has become increasingly important as the demand for animal protein products continues to grow worldwide. This research article examines the importance of feed additives in the growth of animals, their types, and their benefits.

The feeding timing of bovine and sheep enzyme preparations should be comprehensively considered based on the feeding purpose, animal growth stage, and feeding environment. This article explains why.

According to the characteristics of the rumen and intestines of ruminants, combining enzyme preparations with rumen penetrating enzyme preparations in feed to form a dual enzyme combination will have good application effects.

For most rumen protective enzyme preparations in the intestine, although exogenous enzyme preparations can play a certain role in the rumen, most enzyme preparations will be degraded and inactivated in the rumen, and cannot reach the back of the digestive tract such as the small intestine to exert their effects.

Although probiotics + enzyme complex products for ruminants can be expensive in the beginning stages, the long term health benefits and the long run returns outweigh the initial expenditures.

Although the initial investment of probiotics + enzyme complex products in animals such as sheep and cattle may increase the cost for farmers, in the long run, the economic benefits it brings are obvious. This article explains why.

With the development of modern animal husbandry, the role of feed additives in improving the production performance of livestock and poultry is becoming increasingly prominent. Among them, enzyme preparations, as an important feed additive, are becoming increasingly widely used in cattle and sheep feed. This article will delve into the role and efficacy of enzyme preparations in cattle and sheep feed, in order to provide useful references for the development of animal husbandry.

Enzyme preparations play an important role in poultry production, such as promoting intestinal health, and reducing environmental pollution. In the future, research should be conducted on different animals, different growth stages of the same livestock and poultry animals.
