The degradation of plant cell walls by ruminants is of major economic importance in the
developed as well as developing world. Rumen fermentation is unique in that efficient plant …

Research has demonstrated that supplementing dairy cow and feedlot cattle diets with fiber-
degrading enzymes has significant potential to improve feed utilization and animal …

Fungi are of excellent value nutritionally, and of great importance to vegetarians. Edible
mushrooms are excellent sources of protein, have low-fat content and are free of cholesterol …

Ruminant animals develop a diverse and sophisticated microbial ecosystem for digesting
fibrous feedstuffs. Plant cell walls are complex and their structures are not fully understood …

Ruminants contribute to the emissions of greenhouse gases, in particular methane, due to
the microbial anaerobic fermentation of feed in the rumen. The rumen simulation technique …

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 …

The ability of ruminants to convert plant biomass unsuitable for human consumption into
meat and milk is of great societal and agricultural importance. However, the efficiency of this …

The effects of an exogenous enzyme preparation, the application method and feed type on
ruminal fermentation and microbial protein synthesis were investigated using the rumen …

The objective of this study was to evaluate a commercial feed enzyme product (Natugrain 33-
L; BASF Corporation, Ludwigshafen, Germany) used mainly in poultry diets for use in …

An in vitro study was conducted to investigate mechanisms by which fibrolytic enzymes
improve fiber degradation in ruminants. Alfalfa hay was pre-treated with fibrolytic enzymes …
