They are the building blocks of proteins. They can be produced in large quantities through fermentation, a biotech process for growing microorganisms. The antibodies bind to disease-causing agents known as pathogens in the pig's intestine. The pathogens cannot bind to the gut wall to cause disease. Instead, they pass out of the pig's body without doing any harm.
Enzymes are proteins which aid specific chemical or metabolic reactions necessary for cell growth.
They improve feed quality and allow feeds to be tailored to the specific needs of different animals. Enzymes used as feed additives are produced through large-scale fermentation processes. Remove compounds naturally present in feed grains and forages which are potentially harmful to animals or which interfere with their nutrition. When grain like corn is fed to pigs and chickens, phytate inhibits the animals' absorption of phosphorus. Producers must then use phosphorus supplements, which increase the amount of phosphorus in the manure.
