The efficacy of animal feed is heavily influenced by the digestibility of its constituent ingredients. In modern feed formulations, enzymes have emerged as crucial tools to unlock the full nutritional potential of various feedstuffs. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of specialty enzymes, offers Mannanase Enzyme, a sophisticated solution designed to combat the anti-nutritional effects of mannans. Understanding the science behind our Mannanase Enzyme can help you make an informed decision when you decide to buy.

Mannans are complex polysaccharides that form a significant part of the hemicellulose fraction in many plant materials used in animal feed, such as soybean meal, copra meal, and palm kernel meal. These compounds are not readily digestible by the endogenous enzymes present in the digestive systems of monogastric animals like poultry and swine. When ingested, mannans can lead to increased digesta viscosity. This increased viscosity has several detrimental effects:

  • Reduced Nutrient Absorption: The thicker digesta slows down the transit time and reduces the efficiency with which nutrients come into contact with the intestinal absorptive surfaces.
  • Impaired Gut Function: High viscosity can negatively affect the functioning of cilia and villi in the intestines, further compromising nutrient uptake.
  • Increased Susceptibility to Pathogens: The altered gut environment may favor the growth of pathogenic bacteria, potentially leading to digestive disorders.
  • Lower Energy and Protein Utilization: A significant portion of the potential energy and protein in the feed remains locked within the mannan structure, unavailable to the animal.

Mannanase Enzyme, specifically a β-mannanase, acts as a highly effective catalyst to overcome these limitations. Produced through optimized fermentation processes by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., our enzyme belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase family and is specifically designed to cleave the β-1,4-glycosidic linkages that bind mannan units together. This enzymatic action effectively:

  • Degrades Mannan: It breaks down the complex mannan polymers into smaller, more digestible units, such as mannose oligosaccharides (MOS) and mannose.
  • Reduces Digesta Viscosity: By breaking down the large mannan molecules, the enzyme significantly decreases the viscosity of the intestinal contents.
  • Releases Trapped Nutrients: Mannanase liberates energy, protein, and other valuable nutrients that were previously bound within the mannan structure.
  • Improves Gut Health: The resultant MOS can act as prebiotics, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

The scientific rigor behind our product ensures that when you buy Mannanase Enzyme from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., you are investing in a high-purity (>99%), thermostable enzyme. Its ability to withstand feed processing conditions, such as pelleting, makes it a reliable addition to any feed mill. Our commitment as a manufacturer and supplier is to provide scientific solutions that enhance animal nutrition and farm profitability. Partner with us to leverage the power of enzymatic technology for superior animal feed.
