Beta-glucanase and xylanase activities in stomach and ileum of growing pigs fed wheat bran based diets with and without enzyme treatment.

Pigs were fed diets containing 40% wheat bran incubated with a water: acetic acid mixture (control C) and a cellulase (Cel-i) or xylanase (Xyl-i) preparation or with addition of the cellulase (Cel-a) or xylanase (Xyl-a) preparation immediately before feeding. Stomach and ileal samples were analysed for xylanase and beta-glucanase activities by a standard method based on release of reducing substances and a modified method in which the actual pH of the sample was used. After feeding Cel-treated diets xylanase and beta-glucanase activities were higher in the stomach up to 4 hours after feeding. In the stomach the modified method gave significantly lower xylanase activities than the standard method. Ileal xylanase activity was significantly higher 2-6 hours after feeding Xyl-treated diets and ileal beta-glucanase activity was higher 4-6 hours after feeding Cel-treated diets. In ileal samples, the modified method gave significantly higher xylanase and lower beta-glucanase activities than the standard method. It is concluded that xylanase and beta-glucanase activities can be measured in digesta samples with the methods employed and that the added enzymes were largely inactivated between the feedings. Measuring digesta enzyme activities in conditions (pH) similar to the ones in the gastrointestinal tract may give a more reliable picture of the actual activity of added enzymes.     

Influence of supplementary fibrolytic enzymes on the fermentation of corn and grass silages by mixed ruminal microorganisms in vitro

This study was done to determine the effectiveness of supplementary enzymes at increasing the fiber digestion by ruminal microorganisms and to assess whether enzyme activity limits the rate of fiber digestion in ruminal digesta. In vitro comparisons of enzyme activities in two feed enzyme preparations (A and B) with enzyme activities extracted from ruminal fluid indicated that the addition of fibrolytic enzymes at the application rates recommended by the manufacturers would not be expected to increase significantly glycanase and polysaccharidase activities in ruminal fluid. Preparations A and B both increased (P < 0.001) the rate of gas production from freeze-dried corn and grass silages in in vitro incubations with ruminal fluid, but only at concentrations much higher than recommended application rates. Autoclaved controls had little or no effect. Ultrafiltration of enzyme B indicated that most stimulation was due to components >100 kDa, which is consistent with the cause of the stimulation being enzyme activity. Fibrolytic enzymes from other sources were also able to stimulate gas production: increased rates of gas production were observed in seven out of eight combinations of "cellulase" and corn or grass silage (P < 0.05). The comparison of glycanase and polysaccharidase activities with gas-stimulatory activity in the different enzyme preparations indicated that the highest correlation was between increased gas production and enzyme activity against microgranular cellulose (P < 0.05). In a wider range of fibrolytic enzyme preparations, those with endo-(beta-1,4)- or exo-(beta-1,4)-xylanase activity equal to that of preparation A did not produce similar increased rates of fermentation of corn silage when glucanase activity was low (P > 0.05). In contrast, preparations with glucanase activity similar to enzyme A gave at least as great (P < 0.05) an improvement in gas production than enzyme A, irrespective of xylanase activity. It was concluded that enzyme activity, probably a type of endo-(beta-1,4)-glucanase activity, limits the rate of fermentation of corn and grass silage in the rumen. Enzyme supplements of the type used in these experiments are unlikely to possess sufficient activity to overcome this limitation by direct application to ruminal digesta, implying that treatment of the ration prefeeding will be key to harnessing the potential of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes in ruminant nutrition.     

Influence of fibrolytic enzymes on the hydrolysis and fermentation of pure cellulose and xylan by mixed ruminal microorganisms in vitro

A series of in vitro studies was conducted to determine the effects of adding a commercial enzyme product on the hydrolysis and fermentation of cellulose, xylan, and a mixture (1:1 wt/wt) of both. The enzyme product (Liquicell 2500, Specialty Enzymes and Biochemicals, Fresno, CA) was derived from Trichoderma reesei and contained mainly xylanase and cellulase activities. Addition of enzyme (0.5, 2.55 and 5.1 microL/g of DM) in the absence of ruminal fluid increased (P < 0.001) the release of reducing sugars from xylan and the mixture after 20 h of incubation at 20 degrees C. Incubations with ruminal fluid showed that enzyme (0.5 and 2.55 microL/g of DM) increased (P < 0.05) the initial (up to 6 h) xylanase, endoglucanase, and beta-D-glucosidase activities in the liquid fraction by an average of 85%. Xylanase and endoglucanase activities in the solid fraction also were increased (P < 0.05) by enzyme addition, indicating an increase in fibrolytic activity due to ruminal microbes. Gas production over 96 h of incubation was determined using a gas pressure measurement technique. Incremental levels of enzyme increased (P < 0.05) the rate of gas production of all substrates, suggesting that fermentation of cellulose and xylan was enzyme-limited. However, adding the enzyme at levels higher than 2.55 microL/g of DM failed to further increase the rate of gas production, indicating that the maximal level of stimulation was already achieved at lower enzyme concentrations. It was concluded that enzymes enhanced the fermentation of cellulose and xylan by a combination of pre- and postincubation effects (i.e., an increase in the release of reducing sugars during the pretreatment phase and an increase in the hydrolytic activity of the liquid and solid fractions of the ruminal fluid), which was reflected in a higher rate of fermentation.     

Intraruminal supplementation with increasing levels of exogenous polysaccharide-degrading enzymes: effects on nutrient digestion in cattle fed a barley grain diet

The effects of supplying increasing ruminal doses of exogenous polysaccharide-degrading enzymes (EPDE) on rumen fermentation and nutrient digestion were studied using eight ruminally cannulated heifers, four of which were also duodenally cannulated, in a replicated Latin square. The heifers were fed a diet of 85.5% rolled barley grain and 14% barley silage (DM basis), and once daily they were given intraruminal doses of 0 (Control), 100, 200, or 400 g of a preparation containing polysaccharide-degrading enzymes. Enzyme treatment decreased ruminal pH (linear, P<.001) and increased ammonia N (quadratic, P<.001) concentration. The ruminally soluble fraction and effective degradability of feed DM in situ were increased (quadratic response, P<.001) by enzyme treatment. Ruminal administration of EPDE increased ruminal fluid carboxymethylcellulase and xylanase activities linearly (P<.001) and beta-glucanase activity quadratically (P<.01), decreased (quadratic response, P<.05) ruminal fluid viscosity, and did not affect (P>.05) ruminal fluid amylase activity. Elevated levels of fibrolytic activities in the rumen resulted in increased (quadratic, P<.001) carboxymethylcellulase, xylanase, and beta-glucanase (P<.01) activities in duodenal digesta. Duodenal amylase activity and reducing sugar concentration were also increased (quadratic responses, P<.001 and P<.05, respectively) by EPDE. Xylanase activity of fecal DM was increased linearly (P<.05) with increasing ruminal EPDE levels. Apparent digestibilities of DM, crude protein, and NDF were not affected by EPDE supplementation. Enzyme treatment did not affect (P>.05) urinary excretion of allantoin and uric acid, or concentrations of glucose and urea in blood.

试验旨在研究添加复合酶对香蕉叶青贮品质的影响。试验设对照组和3个复合酶组调制香蕉叶青贮,每个处理设3次重复,常温下贮存60d开封,测定青贮的发酵品质和化学成分。结果表明,3个复合酶组的pH和气体损失率极显著或显著降低（P〈0.01,P〈0.05）,干物质回收率和水溶性碳水化合物极显著升高和增加（P〈0.01）;在干物质回收率上,复合酶2组和复合酶3组极显著高于复合酶1组（P〈0.01）;在水溶性碳水化合物上,复合酶3组显著高于复合酶1组和复合酶2组（P〈0.05）;在中性洗涤纤维上,复合酶3组显著低于复合酶2组（P〈0.05）。试验结果提示,复合添加纤维素酶、葡聚糖酶及木聚糖酶能显著提高香蕉叶青贮品质,并且随复合添加水平升高青贮品质进一步提高。     

Dynamics of enzymatic activity development in the adherent rumen microflora

In lambs in the period of a milk nutrition, the enzymatic activities of the rumen wall microflora: cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4), beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.73), alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), urease (EC 3.5.1.3) and neutral protease have been investigated. For comparison's sake, the enzymatic of adherent microflora of the caecal wall ahs been observed, too. It was found that the functionally latent rumen of lambs contained adherent bacteria with cellulase and beta-glucanase activities which reached their maximum on the 30th day of life. The alpha-amylase and protease activities of the epimural rumen microflora reached their maximum already on the 20th day of life. Contrarily, the urease activity reached its maximum only on the 40th day of life. The results show that already from the 10th day after birth, the rumen of young ruminants has a relatively high microbial enzymatic activity.     

Effect of food enzymes on utilisation of lupin carbohydrates by broilers

1. The effects of 3 commercial enzyme products on the nutritive value of 2 lupin species were investigated with the emphasis on changes in composition of non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) along the digestive tract. Enzyme A contained primarily cellulase, beta-glucanase and xylanase activities, enzyme B primarily hemicellulase, pentosanase and xylanase activities, and enzyme C primarily hemicellulase, pectinase and beta-glucanase activities. 2. The enzymes were added to semi-purified diets based on sorghum and casein containing 35% whole seed lupins (Lupinus angustifolius cv Gungurru or Lupinus albus cv Kiev mutant). Control diets contained no lupins. 3. Food conversion ratio (FCR), excreta moisture content and apparent metabolisable energy (AME) were affected by lupin species but not by enzyme supplementation. 4. In diets with L. angustifolius, enzyme C significantly increased digesta viscosity and increased the concentration of soluble NSPs in all sections of the intestine. 5. Digestibility of protein and NSPs in the ileum and microbial fermentation in the ileum and caeca were not affected by adding enzymes to diets containing L. angustifolius. 6. Enzyme addition to diets with L. albus did not affect digesta viscosity nor concentration of soluble NSPs but caused a significantly (P<0.05) reduced concentration of insoluble NSP in the ileum. 7. Enzyme addition to L. albus significantly (P<0.05) increased NSP digestibility in the ileum but had no effects on protein digestibility and fermentation in the ileum and caeca.     

添加外源纤维水解酶对羊草体外瘤胃发酵酶活性及特性的影响

试验通过分别添加纤维素酶与木聚糖酶0,10.0与50.0 mg水平,0与24 h两个预处理时间,每个处理3个重复,体外法评价纤维素酶与木聚糖酶复合处理羊草后与瘤胃液共培养对木聚糖酶与葡聚糖酶活性及发酵特性的影响。结果表明,添加纤维水解酶能提高0与8 h培养液中木聚糖酶和内切葡聚糖酶活性以及0 h培养液中外切葡聚糖酶活性,且具有添加剂量效应。当培养至24及48 h,添加外源酶制剂并不能提高培养液中相关酶活性。外源酶制剂显著增加培养24与48 h发酵液中乙酸含量,8,24与48 h 总挥发性脂肪酸产量 (P<0.05)以及48 h累积产气量(P<0.05),但对培养期内戊酸与异戊酸含量没有影响(P＞0.05)。结果提示添加外源酶制剂能提高早期培养液中木聚糖酶和葡聚糖酶活性、增加VFA产量和改善体外瘤胃发酵特性。

本试验旨在研究过瘤胃胆碱(RPC)对成年黔北麻羊瘤胃发酵及血浆生化指标的影响。以体况良好,年龄、体重[(35.0±1.2)kg]一致的成年黔北麻羊6只为试验动物,分为对照组和试验组,每组3个重复,每个重复1只羊。采用交叉试验设计,对照组饲喂基础饲粮,不含RPC;试验组补饲10 g/d的RPC。试验持续30 d,分2期,每期15 d;每期最后1 d采集瘤胃液测定p H、氨态氮浓度、微生物蛋白产量、挥发性脂肪酸(乙酸、丙酸、丁酸)浓度、纤维素酶(微晶纤维素酶、羧甲基纤维素酶、纤维二糖酶、木聚糖酶)活性,同时采血测定血浆葡萄糖、尿素氮、总蛋白、白蛋白、总胆固醇、甘油三酯、肌酐浓度。结果显示:1)RPC对山羊采食速度没有影响,对采食量没有显著影响(P0.05);2)RPC对瘤胃液p H、氨态氮浓度、微生物蛋白产量、挥发性脂肪酸浓度及4种纤维素酶活性影响较小,2组间差异均不显著(P0.05);3)RPC对血浆生化指标影响较小,2组间差异均不显著(P0.05)。由此可见,补饲10 g/d的RPC对成年黔北麻羊的采食量、瘤胃发酵参数和血浆生化指标没有显著影响。     

Improving the nutritional value of oat hulls for ruminant animals with pretreatment of a multienzyme cocktail: in vitro studies

Relatively high amounts of hydroxycinnamic acid in oat hulls, mainly ferulic acid, are believed to be inhibitory to digestion by ruminal microorganisms. Ferulic acid is produced via the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway and covalently cross-linked to polysaccharides by ester bonds and to components of lignin, mainly by ether bonds. Ferulic acid also forms dimers or trimers. As a result, polysaccharides become extensively cross-linked by ferulate dimerization or trimerization and incorporation into lignin. Previous studies have shown that Aspergillus ferulic acid esterase and Trichoderma xylanase act synergistically to release ferulic acid from feruloyl-polysaccharides in complex plant cell walls of oat hulls. This activity opens the remainder of the polysaccharides to further hydrolytic attack and facilitates the accessibility of the main polysaccharide chain to cellulase, thereby increasing the release of reducing sugars. In Exp. 1, the best multienzyme cocktail (ferulic acid esterase, xylanase, cellulase, endo-glucanase [I, II], and beta-glucanase) was developed using an orthogonal experimental design, L25 (5(6)), where L = orthogonal table; 6 = factors; 5 = five levels of each; and 25 = experimental number, for further in situ and/or in vivo study. In Exp. 2, in vitro biodegradation studies with a 3 x 2 x 4 factorial arrangement of treatments were used to evaluate the responses of three feedstuffs, oat hulls or standard references (wheat straw and alfalfa hay), two particle sizes (1 mm and 250 microm), and four in vitro incubation treatments with the best multienzyme cocktail developed in Exp. 1. Addition of the multienzyme cocktail to the forages improved (P < 0.01) in vitro ruminal fluid degradability. With respect to feedstuff, the order of response (P < 0.05) to the treatments was oat hulls (+12% unit) > wheat straw (+5% unit) > alfalfa (+2% unit). This multi-enzyme cocktail seems best suited for oat hulls containing feruloyl ester bonds. In conclusion, data from this study suggest that the addition of the multienzyme cocktail to poorly digestible feeds before feeding enhanced degradation of DM.

Effects of beta-glucanase and xylanase supplementation on gastrointestinal digestive enzyme activities of weaned piglets fed a barley-based diet

The effects of supplementing a barley-based diet for weaned piglets withexogenous beta-glucanase and xylanase on gastrointestinal digestiveenzyme activities were investigated. Thirty-six cross-bred weaned pigletswere randomly assigned to two groups with three pens based on sexand mass. Each group was fed on the diet based on barley with or withoutadded beta-glucanase and xylanase (0.15%) for a 4-week period. Theresults showed that enzyme supplementation improved growth performanceof piglets significantly (p < 0.05), but had no effect (p = 0.091)on average daily feed intake. The results also showed that supplementationof beta-glucanase and xylanase had no effect on pepsin activity in gastriccontents but slightly decreased (p = 0.092) the pepsin activity ingastric mucosa. Meanwhile, no effect of enzyme supplementation ontrypsin activity in duodenal contents was observed. However, the activitiesof amylase and lipase in duodenal contents were significantly(p < 0.05) decreased, whereas the activities of maltase, sucrase andgamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) in jejunal and ileal mucosa wereenhanced significantly (p < 0.05). The improvement of disaccharidaseand gamma-GT activity may be attributed to the positive impacts of exogenousenzymes on digestion and absorption of the nutrients. In conclusion,the current results indicated that supplementation with enzymes in barley-based diets could improve the growth performance of piglets,decrease the activities of amylase and lipase in duodenal contents andincrease the activities of disaccharidase and gamma-GT in jejunal and ilealmucosa.     

Effect of enzymes of microbial origin on in vitro digestibilities of dry matter and crude protein in soybean meal

The effects of supplementation with cellulase, xylanase, pectinase, hemicellulase, glucanase, phytase and protease of microbial origin on digestibility of crude protein (CP) and dry matter (DM) of soybean meal in vitro were examined in the present study. Changes in viscosity during in vitro digestion were also examined as an index of carbohydrate digestibility. Hemicellulase and all enzyme combinations without protease showed significant improvement of CP digestibility. Cellulase, xylanase, phytase and glucanase tended to improve CP digestibility. Dry matter digestibility was improved significantly by pectinase and all enzyme combinations. Cellulase and phytase tended to improve DM digestibility. Crude protein and DM digestibilities were the highest when all the enzymes except protease were added. Protease, cellulase, pectinase, xylanase, glucanase and hemicellulase significantly reduced viscosity, while phytase had no effect on viscosity. Viscosity was increased unexpectedly when all the enzymes were added. These results strongly suggest that a combination of carbohydrases improves the CP and DM digestibility of soybean meal while protease inhibits the actions of these enzymes. The present study also suggests that viscosity is not always a good index of digestibility. Moreover, excluding the protease from commercial crude enzyme preparations may improve digestibility.     

Effects of cell wall degrading enzymes on carbohydrate fractions and metabolites in stomach and ileum of pigs fed wheat bran based diets.

Pigs were fed diets containing 40% wheat bran incubated with a water: acetic acid mixture (control, C) and a cellulase (Cel-i) or xylanase (Xyl-i) preparation or with addition of the cellulase (Cel-a) or xylanase (Xyl-a) preparation immediately before feeding. Stomach and ileal samples were analysed for pH, osmolality, soluble saccharides, volatile fatty acids (VFA) and lactic acid. Incubation of wheat bran resulted in a small reduction of NDF and an increase in the amount of soluble starch, B-glucans and saccharides (glucose, xylose and arabinose), especially after incubation with the cellulase preparation. Two hours after feeding, significantly higher arabinose and xylose concentrations were present in the stomach for diets Cel-i, Cel-a and Xyl-i. In the ileum xylose and arabinose concentrations were higher 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 hours after feeding the enzyme-treated diets. In stomach and ileum there were no differences between the diets in pH, osmolality, VFA and lactic acid concentrations, but ileal VFA concentration from 4 h after feeding tended to be higher for diets Cel-i and Xyl-i. It can be concluded that the amount of soluble saccharides in stomach and small intestine and the ileal VFA concentration may be increased by cell wall degrading enzyme preparations.     

Xylanase and beta-glucanase supplementation improve conjugated bile acid fraction in intestinal contents and increase villus size of small intestine wall in broiler chickens fed a rye-based diet

This study was performed with growing chickens (4 to 22 d of age) to evaluate the effects of feeding a rye-based diet supplemented with commercial enzyme preparation containing xylanase and beta-glucanase (Quatrazyme HP, Nutri-Tomen, France) on small intestine wall morphology, bile acid composition, nutrient digestibility, and bird performance compared with unsupplemented rye- or corn-based diets. The rye-based diet decreased (P < or = 0.05) weight gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency and increased water intake compared with the corn-based diet. Moreover, rye consumption reduced crude fat and protein digestibility as well as apparent metabolizable energy (P < or = 0.05). The small intestine wall showed that villus length, width, and surface were decreased in broiler chickens fed the rye-based diet compared with those fed the corn-based diet. However, crypt morphometry parameters were not affected by diet type. The concentration of conjugated bile acids in the small intestine contents of broiler chickens fed the rye-based diet was decreased (P < or = 0.05) compared with those fed the corn-based diet. These findings suggest that feeding a rye-based diet reduces villus capacity for nutrient absorption and bile acid capacity for fat solubilization and emulsification, resulting in decreased bird performance. The addition of xylanase and beta-glucanase to the rye-based diet improved (P < or = 0.05) weight gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency, and decreased water intake. The digestibility of nutrients and apparent metabolizable energy were also increased (P < or = 0.05). Addition of xylanase and beta-glucanase increased (P < or = 0.05) villus size and the villus height-to-crypt depth ratio, as well as the concentration of conjugated bile acids (P < or = 0.05) in the small intestine contents. Exogenous enzymes improved nutrient digestibility and broiler chicken performance, probably by improving the absorption capacity ofthe small intestine through increased villus surface and intestinal concentration of conjugated bile acids.
