Seasonality of fibrolytic enzyme activity in herbivore microbial ecosystems
Fibre (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) is the most abundant polysaccharide in nature and is hydrolysed by gut micro-organisms of herbivores because they can produce a set of extracellular enzymes. This study examined seasonal changes in the fibrolytic enzyme activity of microbial ecosystems of five herbivores (buffalo, cow, impala, wildebeest and ...

Role of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes in ruminant feeding
The complex crop residues and straws are main feed resource available for feeding livestock in developing countries like India. These straws mainly consist of ligno-cellulose complex, which is not very easily and fully digested. Several attempts were tried to address the issue but met with varying degree of success.

Influence of the addition of exogenous xylanase with or without pre-incubation on the in vitro ruminal fermentation of three fibrous feeds [PDF]
These by-products could be used as animal feedstuffs, but their use is limited by their high fibre content, which invariably lowers the efficiency of digestive utilization (Khattab et al. 2013; Kholif et al. 2014). Fibrous feeds are characterized by high

Effects of xylanase supplementation on feed intake, digestibility and ruminal fermentation in Rambouillet sheep [PDF]
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of adding xylanase enzyme (XY) to a basal diet containing 300 g maize stover and 700 g concentrate/kg dry matter (DM) on feed intake, ruminal fermentation, total tract and ruminal digestibility, as well ...

A Comparison of Methods of Adding Fibrolytic Enzymes to Lactating Cow Diets
Holstein cows (n = 43) in early lactation were used to investigate effects of method of adding fibrolytic enzymes to diets on feed intake, milk production, and digestibility. Cows were blocked according to parity and calving date and randomly assigned to three treatments: control, enzymes applied to the total mixed ration (E-TMR), or enzymes added to ...

A Review on the Role of Exogenous Fibrolytic Enzymes in Ruminant Nutrition
Dairy production system in developing countries mainly depends on forage plants and crop residues as major portion of the Ruminants diet. The majority of the dry matter in forage crops is made up of fibre whose digestibility is limited in rumen ecosystem.

Influence of exogenous enzymes in presence of Salix babylonica extract on digestibility, microbial protein synthesis and performance of lambs fed maize silage [PDF]
In Mexico, there are native trees that can be used as an alternative feed when forages are scarce and of poor quality in the dry season (Palma et al. 1995).

Fibrolytic Enzymes Increase Fermentation Losses and Reduce Fiber Content of Sorghum Silage
Abstract Fiber digestibility is a key-point of forage usage in ruminant production systems. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of fibrolytic enzyme blend on whole-plant sorghum silage fermentation profile, fermentative losses, chemical composition, in vitro degradation, and aerobic stability. It used fifty experimental silos (
