Europe USA Canada International NSP Enzymes Conference, June 2014 30.06.2014 | Conferences & exhibitions To mark the company's rise in the global feed enzyme market, Huvepharma organized its first enzyme seminar on the theme of NSP enzymes and their use in poultry and pig nutrition in the first week of June. About 120 participants from more than 20 countries attended the event in Vienna, Austria, and were presented with an overview of the real value of NSP enzymes. Key speakers included Prof. Christophe Courtin (KU Leuven in Belgium), who highlighted the fact that not all NSP enzymes are the same. While several enzymes have shown to enhance digestibility of feedstuffs by releasing nutrients, factors like pH sensitivity, temperature resistance and enzyme reactivity distinguish enzymes resulting in differences in efficacy. Following Courtin's presentation, Prof. Geert Janssens (University of Ghent, Belgium) explained that fibre upgrading or degrading with the use of NSP enzymes in poultry feeds benefits producers. He showed fibre might, in some cases, even have a positive effect in poultry nutrition. Dr. Damian Józefiak (University of Poznan, Poland) spoke about the use of NSP enzymes in animal feeds and their effects on gut microflora composition and balance. Managing gut microflora population is an important tool in steering and controlling gut health which will lead to better and healthier performance results, he said. Dr. Amy Batal (Huvepharma enzyme division, USA) explained that the use of NSP enzymes in the US has grown fast from practically zero 5 years ago to now 80% of the poultry feeds containing NSP enzymes. She warned her audience not to add all matrix values of enzymes and other feed additives on top of each other. Dr. Paul Bikker (Wageningen University, the Netherlands) demonstrated the efficacy of NSP enzymes in pig diets by using multiple trials performed by different research groups. The swine industry is not as far as the poultry industry in applying NSP enzymes in their diets, but according to Dr. Bikker there is really reason to change this. Due to increasing costs of feedstuffs and related energy sources, the use of NSP enzymes will really contribute in controlling costs of feed and improve performance in pig diets. Prof. Mia Eeckhout (University of Ghent) discussed the process of feed pelleting, pointing out factors which play a role when enzymes are added to the feed. Doug Decksheimer (Comco) explained the liquid application system (PPLA), and its critical points. Innovations have led to cost effective and efficient application systems. Water Soluble Enzymes Dr. Lode Nollet (Product manager Enzymes at Huvepharma) went on to reveal a game-changing, revolutionary improvement in the use of liquid enzyme application: the Huvematic®. The Huvematic® is a unique device which overcomes several disadvantages of the current use of Liquid enzymes in IBC containers. Currently Huvepharma is commercialising and rolling out a "instant water soluble enzyme range" together with the complementary Huvematic® equipment on a global basis. The Huvematic® is developed to assure accurate and precise blending. It will dissolve water soluble enzymes into high quality and stable liquid enzyme formulations. According to Huvepharma, this new technology will change rapidly the industrial use of liquid feed enzymes offering flexibility and conveniences in the use of liquid application for the global feed industry. Concluding the seminar, Karel Bierman Msc (Global Director Enzymes at Huvepharma) stressed his company's focus on quality, safety and efficiency. He said that the industry can expect more innovations from Huvepharma®, like the Huvematic®, that will serve the needs in producing high value, cost effective solutions for the production of animal feeds, for now and the future", he commented. * Feedinfo News Service Previous News View All NSP Enzymes Conference, June 2014 30.06.2014 | Conferences & exhibitions New applicator makes enzymes on-site 30.06.2014 | Conferences & exhibitions Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) USA_Swine 18.06.2014 | General News Navigatior View Previous View Next Categories Conferences & exhibitions General News New registrations Recent developements All Subscribe RSS Feed HUVEPHARMA 2007-2014.
