Megaenzyme™

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

What is Megaenzyme™?
Megaenzyme™ is a concentrated enzymatic supplement with probiotics, specially formulated to improve animal digestion in order to achieve greater nutrient absorption in the animal gut. Megaenzyme™ facilitates better digestion through its hydrolyzing effect on nutrients, improving their bio-availability and their absorption in the digestive tract, resulting in a savings in metabolic energy that reflect in a better feed conversion and weight gain, with corresponding positive impact in production costs. Additionally, the enzymes, Xylanasa y Lactasa, included in Megaenzyme™, allow for a more efficient use of lower-cost raw materials, such as wheat byproducts and dairy byproducts, frequently included in swine feed formulations. Also, the probiotics that are part of Megaenzyme™ provide for better animal well being, translating into a significant reduction in mortality levels and therefore in an important improvement in the lot's final survivability. Eventually, the common treatment techniques, such as the routine use of antibiotics and growth promoters in the feed, can be significantly reduced or eliminated.

The net effect in the use of Megaenzyme™ is more production of lean meat, at a lower cost, and with a superior quality to the end consumer. Experience has shown that its use is a determinant factor in raising animals more competitively.

Mode of action and rate of application:
With Megaenzyme™ maximum nutrient availability and absorption is achieved due to the hydrolyzing activity of the Megaenzyme™ components : PROTEASE, AMYLASE, CELULASE, LIPASE, PEPTINASE, LACTASE in the amine, carbohydrate, lipid, and fiber groups in the feed. Phytase frees phosphorous contained in vegetable raw materials and makes it available to the animal in the ration, providing savings in formulation. The above mentioned enzymes are produced by Aspergillus Oryzae, through the fermentation and extraction method.

• The enzymes in Megaenzyme™ are of the highest activity per unit available.
• Megaenzyme™ is a concentrate (no carrier).
• Megaenzyme™ is the product in the market with the most numbers of enzymes.
• Megaenzyme™ is the only product in the market that combine enzymes with four different types of very important probiotics.
• Megaenzyme™ the only enzymatic complex containing phytase as a major component.

• The animal spends less metabolic energy in digestion
• A better quality animal - Less fat tissue, more muscle tissue, and denser bone structure
• Higher field productivity indexes
• Accelerated absorption of antibiotics, resulting in less need for antibiotics in feeds
• Shorter growth cycles
• Elimination of growth promoters. Conventional growth promoters are antibiotics that attempt to anticipate the presence of certain pathogens in feeds and their harmful effects to the animal. However, not all pathogens are sensitive to growth promoters and the pathogens that are develop resistance to them with time. Additionally, growth promoters leave residues in the animal's muscle tissue that eventually are passed on to humans.
