KEMIN A GOOD START, A GOOD LIFE: SUPPORTING YOUNG PIGLETS’ DIGESTION
So, what can we do to support early growth and digestion in
piglets? To start, we can provide exogenous enzymes to support digestion while the piglets’ own production is still limited. KEMZYME®

At weaning, the ability of young pigs to digest solid feed is severely reduced. They lack endogenous production of numerous crucial digestive enzymes, including amylase and lipase (Figure 1). At the same time, the pH of their stomachs is too high for efficient digestion, not reaching mature levels until almost 12 weeks of age.

is a multi-enzyme with five quantified enzyme activities including both NSP-ases, protease and α-amylase. This combination of enzymes is perfectly designed to supplement the piglet, enabling better digestion and faster growth in the weeks immediately following weaning: across 4 scientific trials, the average reduction in FCR with KEMZYME Plus dry after weaning was 9 points, as shown in Figure 2, leading to an average return on investment of more than 10.

to support growth and performance. Kemin internal reference: TL-17-00057.
Not only does poor digestion leave few nutrients available for
growth, excess undigested protein and other nutrients work their way through the gut, allowing pathogens like E. coli, Clostridium, and Brachyspira to proliferate.

THE IMPACT OF BACTERIAL BIOMASS AND ENDOGENOUS PROTEIN LOSS
By Prof. Aaron J. Cowieson, Principal Scientist, DSM Animal Nutrition & Health and Adjunct Professor, University of Sydney & Dr. N.E. Ward, DSM Nutritional Products Inc, Parsippany, NJ, USA
INTRODUCTION Modern poultry breeds require diets that provide for rapid muscle development. Because of the extraordinary growth rates of today’s birds, even small deficits in amino acids can have severe consequences. Increasingly, we recognize that endogenous protein loss, or protein loss that is non-dietary in origin, plays an important role in this process. Endogenous protein loss refers to any protein, peptide, or amino acid of non-dietary origin that exits the terminal ileum.
