Benefits of technology

The present invention is a feed additive composition that includes a combination of a phytase and a DFM (degrassclostridium bacteria). This combination has shown a significant improvement in reducing the negative effects of necrotic enteritis and increasing the subject's resistance to it compared to other combinations. The phytase catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytate, which reduces the availability of nitrogen for bacterial growth and helps the activity of DFMs in inhibiting pathogenic bacteria. The DFMs and proteases in the feed additive help to reduce pathogen growth and improve resistance to necrotic enteritis. The DFM and enzymes may be formulated as a liquid, dry powder or granule.

Problems solved by technology

Although combinations of DFMs with some enzymes have been contemplated, the interaction between DFMs and enzymes has never been fully understood.

Materials and Methods

[0329]Three thousand six hundred one-day-old Cobb male chicks are purchased from a commercial hatchery. At study initiation, fifty males are allocated to each treatment pen by blocks. The study consisted of the following treatments (Table 1):

Materials and Methods

[0346]One digestibility trial with broiler chickens is conducted to determine the effects of protease and DFMs treatments on top of phytase on nutrient utilisation. The cages are housed in environmentally controlled rooms. The birds receive 20-hour fluorescent illumination and, are allowed free access to the diets and water. On day 1, a broiler live coccidiosis vaccine is given to all chicks orally. The study consists of the following treatments (Table 3).

Abstract

A feed additive composition comprising a direct fed microbial in combination with a protease, and a phytase, and a method for improving the performance of a subject or for improving digestibility of a raw material in a feed (e.g. nutrient digestibility, such as amino acid digestibility), or for improving nitrogen retention, or for improving the subject's resistance to necrotic enteritis or for improving feed conversion ratio (FCR) or for improving weight gain in a subject or for improving feed efficiency in a subject or for modulating (e.g. improving) the immune response of the subject or for promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of a subject, which method comprising administering to a subject a direct fed microbial in combination with a protease and a phytase.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to methods for improving feed compositions using a direct fed microbial in combination with a specific combination of enzymes, and to a feed additive composition comprising a direct fed microbial in combination with a specific combination of enzymes. The present invention further relates to uses and kits.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Supplemental enzymes are used as additives to animal feed, particularly poultry and swine feeds, as a means to improve nutrient utilization and production performance characteristics. Enzyme blends are available to improve the nutritional value of diets containing soybean meal, animal protein meals, or high fibre food by-products.[0003]The concept of direct fed microbials (DFM) involves the feeding of beneficial microbes to animals, such as dairy cattle when they are under periods of stress (disease, ration changes, environmental or production challenges). Probiotics is another term for this categ...
