In poultry production, feed is the single major input constituting 70–75% of total production cost. Feed mainly consists of cereal grains; those provide energy to the birds. However, these grains contain different levels of antinutritional factors such as non-starch polysaccharides (NSP). These NSP are indigestible by poultry birds due to the lack of vital endogenous enzymes thus increase intestinal viscosity which slower the passage and absorption of nutrients. Consequently, these NSP may also increase the chances for infection by inducing competitive exclusion within gut microbiota for digestible nutrients. This affects bird’s health and increases the production cost. Therefore, there is a need to find efficient and effective solutions for these problems. Feed enzymes are being used from years to enhance growth performance and digestibility but have limited activity for selective ingredients.
WHY TO USE COMPOUND ENZYMES?
Exogenous enzymes which can hydrolyze the non-starch polysaccharides found in the feed given to birds. These carbohydrates cannot be digested by birds as they do not have the capability to produce the enzymes; because of this reason the farmers have practiced using the cocktail of NSP enzymes. Cocktail contains the enzymes like Xylanase, Amylase, and Protease, along with probiotics. Microbial sources used are selected in such a way that they not only produce the enzymes but also they act as Probiotics for birds. Strain should be ecofriendly and should not be a parasite. It should grow with minimal nutrition. It should produce higher
amounts of enzymes. Bacterial organisms used mainly for the production of enzymes are
 Bacillus spp. (α-Amylase, proteases)
 Bacillus licheniformis
 Bacillus subtilis
These are the largest group of bacteria used for the production of multiple enzymes and also used as probiotics for birds. These organisms have a common thing among them that is they can produce the enzymes which can breakdown various substances. Among them the breakdown of the plant cell wall components are mainly polysaccharides.
WHY BGPA61 COMPOUND ENZYME?
BGPA61 is a blended product with single enzymes, which are obtained by controlled submerged fermentation and special post treatment process using proprietary technologies. Based on the physiological features of broilers and feed formulation, compound enzyme BGPA61 is scientifically formulated with NSP enzymes, protease, amylase, lipase, bacillus subtilis and bacillus licheniformis etc., and characterized by hydrolyzing non-starch polysaccharides, improving growth, production performance, and feed efficiency.
Conclusion:
NSP BGP61 is a complete blend for all Anti-nutritional factors of poultry feed. NSP BGP61 contains NSP, Proteases, Lipases and probiotics. NSP BG61 improves bird’s digestive efficiency and increase the level of nutrients used for gut maintenance. While niche of this probiotics also supports to improve beneficial microbiota and intestinal health which ultimately improves the nutrient utilization and production performance of the birds in terms of weight gain, FCR and feed intake. Bacillus subtilis selected on basis of its high extracellular enzyme production, was chosen as a probiotic candidate for application as poultry feed supplement. In broiler diet it improves growth performance, increase feed efficiency, regulate serum index and reduce harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract. B. subtilis modulates the intestinal gut-flora and favors the growth of lactic acid bacteria with recognized health-conferring properties. Bacillus licheniformis, which are generally recognized as safe bacteria, have long been extensively used in the poultry industry. These bacteria can serve as an alternative to antibiotics to enhance growth performance in poultry and is a useful probiotic for overcoming Necrotic Enteritis in a commercial-like condition. Bacillus licheniformis prevents Necrotic Enteritis in Broiler Chickens. There is an urgent need for searching effective antibiotic alternatives to control it with the global ban on in-feed antibiotics along with exogenous compound Enzymes.
