Supplementation of NSP enzyme increased the nutritive value of diets fed to lactating sows

An abstract by Pedersen et al evaluating the effect of supplementing a non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) degrading enzyme in a standard lactation diet, on total tract digestibility of nutrients, milk yield, and weight loss in late lactation, where feed intake is highest is presented.

Summary:An abstract by Pedersen et al evaluating the effect of supplementing a non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) degrading enzyme in a standard lactation diet, on total tract digestibility of nutrients, milk yield, and weight loss in late lactation, where feed intake is highest is presented. Energy status, as evaluated by plasma metabolites, was not affected by enzyme supplementation. In conclusion, the NSP degrading enzyme increased the apparent total tract digestibility of studied nutrients.
