Enzyme technology is an integral tool for the
brewing, baking and textile industries. In agriculture there is great potential
for enzymes too but this is yet to be fully exploited. However, animal
nutrition is one area in which the use of feed enzymes is becoming increasingly
important.
There are three driving factors in animal
production that are leading to the development and adoption of feed enzyme
technology. First, the world’s growing population has meant global demand for
food and in particular meat and meat products have increased
substantially. In addition, producers
are also continually looking for novel methods of increasing their efficiency
and productivity and the cost and availability of raw materials for animal feed
is the second factor continuing price rises are a major constraint to meeting
demand. The third factor is concern over the environmental fragility of the
planet and the pressure on agricultural industries to reduce their reliance on
vital resources.
