USE OF BACILLUS COMPOSITION FOR INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE SUGARS IN ANIMAL FEED |
摘要 |
Described are methods for assaying whether a Bacillus composition comprising at least one Bacillus strain is capable of increasing the amount of available sugar from animal feed comprising non-starch polysaccharides (NSP). Also described are methods for increasing the amount of available sugar from animal feed comprising non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), comprising adding to the animal feed a Bacillus composition comprising at least one Bacillus strain, which compositions produces 120 hexose equivalents (μmol/ml) or more when measured by the method described herein. Also described are animal feeds comprising 14% (w/w) or more of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) if the animal feed is for a piglet, lactating sow, broiler or layer or 19% (w/w) or more of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) if the animal feed is for a grower-finisher pig or gestating sow, and a Bacillus composition comprising at least one Bacillus strain, as well as methods and uses relating thereto. |

1. A method for assaying whether a Bacillus composition comprising at least one Bacillus strain is capable of increasing the amount of available sugar from animal feed comprising non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), said method comprising incubating the animal feed with the Bacillus composition at 37° C. for 24 hours, measuring the absorbance in a dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) assay at OD540 and calculating the amount of sugar (hexose) equivalents produced by correlating the measured absorbance to a standard curve. |
