Allzyme SSF
Allzyme® SSF is:
• A naturally fermented enzyme complex by Alltech Inc.
• Produced through solid state fermentation using a selected strain of Aspergillus niger containing at least seven enzymes, which work in synergy for a greater release of nutrients from the diet.
• Numerous trials have been conducted to investigate the use of Allzyme® SSF in poultry diets (Wu et al., 2003; 2004; Ribeiro et al., 2003; Godwin et al., 2004; Pierce et al., 2007; 2009).
• Based on the results of these studies, the following recommendation was made for the usage of Allzyme® SSF in broiler diets:
– Inclusion rate: 200 g/MT
– Nutrients can be reduced in the corn-soy diet by: 75 Kcal/kg ME, 0.1% available P, 0.1% Ca
Allzyme SSF
• Dietary supplementation of Allzyme® SSF with 400 g/MT in corn-soy diet increased DM and P retention compared with chicks fed low nutrient diet or supplemented with 200 g/MT Allzyme® SSF.
• Compared with chicks fed low nutrient diets, birds fed the diet supplemented with 200 g/T Allzyme® SSF had higher AMEn, tibia ash content and weight gain (P<0.05). No further increases were observed when the dietary enzyme level was increased (Figures 3, 4 & 5).
• Compared with chicks fed low nutrient diets, enzyme supplementation did not increase feed intake significantly
• Supplementation of a low nutrient corn-soy diet with Allzyme® SSF linearly decreased FCR of chicks compared with chicks fed low nutrient diet alone.
Conclusion
• Supplementing Allzyme® SSF with 200 g/T in corn-soy diet:
– Increased AMEn of the diet by 84 kcal/kg
– Increased tibia ash percentage
– Improved performance of chicks
• No further increase of performance & AMEn was found
at 400 g/T.
