Recently enzymes have been used in animal nutrition, mainly for monogastric animals. When administered through feed, enzymes generally catalyze chemical reactions which lead to increase digestibility of nutrients and improve in the feed ingredients; which consequently leads to the much better utilization of the feed intake.

Enzymes are obtained by fermentation; primarily used for the following purposes:

• Increasing the availability/ convertibility of feed ingredients

• Degrading or destroying anti-nutritive substances

• Supplementing/ supporting endogenous enzymes

Enzymes are primarily responsible for better conservation of minerals (by use of Phytase) or nutrients (by use of Non Starch Polysaccharides hydrolyzing enzymes). This in turn results in a reduction of the nutrients excreted in the manure, which also results in the reduction of environmental burden, reducing the cost of feed.
