CONFIDENTIAL Public/How to overcome anti-nutritional factors with a range of feed enzymes/j-p Ruckebusch/April, 2013 Anti-Nutritional Factors & Enzymes Plants produce ANFs as part of their normal metabolism ANFs interfere with animal s ability to digest plant nutrients, thereby reducing digestive efficiency by Binding to various nutrients Increasing viscosity of intestinal contents Inhibiting/deactivating endogenous digestive enzymes Irritating the intestinal mucosa (challenge to immune system) Specific mono-component enzymes work against ANFs by hydrolyzing: Phytin Non-soluble and soluble NSPs Trypsin inhibitors and lectin Other ANFs (ß-mannan, etc ) Page 2 Source: Kumar, 1994; Choct et al., 1991; Lange et al., 2000; Cowieson 2004

Phytate w Phytase in vivo In presence of phytase, phytates (IP6) are hydrolyzed in smaller phytate esters like IP4, IP3 Small phytate esters are soluble and do not bind proteins. They will be degraded and absorbed Not bound proteins are available for hydrolysis into peptides and amino acids By indirect action phytase increases nutrient digestibility Page 6

The insoluble cell wall structure in corn Endosperm cell wall w. insoluble arabinoxylans Broken down by xylanase The thin cell walls can be described as arabinoxylan cages encapsulating nutrients. Releasing cell contents Page 9 Source: Evers and Millar 2002
Degradation of cell walls by xylanase 0 min 180 min Wheat cuts right after injection of xylanase Wheat cuts 180 minutes after treatment with xylanase Fluorescence is induced by UV irradiation of plant materials, then emitted by mainly ferulic acid cross-linking arabinoxylan chains.

Degradation of cell walls by xylanase 0 min 120 min Corn from piglets digesta sample right after injection of xylanase Corn from piglets digesta sample 120 minutes after treatment with xylanase The degradation of cell walls by a xylanase is monitored indirectly as a decrease in fluorescence resulting from the breakdown of the arabinoxylan rich cell walls into soluble oligomers.

CONFIDENTIAL One Substrate, One enzyme Studies on ANFs in feed ingredients on which mono-component enzymes have proven to be effective provide a better understanding of the mode of action of specific feed enzymes. It also helps in predicting the nutritional contribution a single enzyme or a combination of enzymes can make to the value of a diet. Enzymes are highly specific. The non-soluble and soluble NSPs are more complex substrates and may require more than one enzyme to alleviate the ANF s impact. The choice of commercial feed enzymes and combination must be made based on the best knowledge available, not only on the enzyme activity itself, but on the substrate it is targeting. Page 20
