This document analyzes emission of non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases, an important
segment of the environmental footprint of animal production. It has been developed by a …

Exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) added to the ruminant diet can increase fiber
digestibility and production efficiency. A systematic review was conducted to understand the …

There are unknown interactions between supplements of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes
(EFE) and the cell walls of feedstuff in ruminal conditions. The quantitative effects of using …

Treating ruminant feeds with exogenous fibrolytic enzymes may potentially increase forage
cell wall degradability and thus feed efficiency. In nature, fungi biosynthesize …

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of pretreating dairy cow rations with
a fibrolytic enzyme derived from Trichoderma reesei (FETR; mixture of xylanase and …

Publisher Summary The chapter discusses the use of enzymes, bacterial direct-fed
microbials (DFM) and yeast for ruminants. The net result of using these additives in …

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of commercial exogenous fibrolytic
enzyme (EFE) mixture added at 1.5 and 3.0 g (cellulase 4,000 µM glucose/g/h+ xylanase …

A dry enzyme mixture was added to the diets of lactating cows and growing lambs to
evaluate its ability to improve milk production and nutrient digestibility, respectively. The …

Soaked and pasteurised wheat straw was inoculated with five species of Pleurotus fungi
(coded P-21, P-30, P-41, P-60 and P-90), packed in polyethylene bags and incubated in a …

The digestion of ruminal fibrous substrate is slow or incomplete and can hinder animal
performance. Hence, the current study investigated the effect of oat-silage-to-concentrate …
