Brief Project Summary:

The use of exogenous enzymes in feeds for terrestrial livestock, notably poultry and swine, has been widely adopted by the industry given the positive effects of these additives in improving the nutritional value of plant-based feeds largely comprised of soybean meal (SBM) and corn. Inclusion of carbohydrase enzymes in feeds have shown to improve the digestibility of otherwise indigestible oligosaccharides and non-starch polysaccharides present in plant-based protein and energy ingredients for monogastric animals. Likewise, the supplementation of protease enzymes to poultry and swine feeds has been shown to increase the availability of proteinogenic amino acids by enhancing protein digestibility....

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
