Ongoing field trials are underway and speeding toward success regarding the addition of Great Lakes Bio Systems’ digestive enzymes in swine feed. These trials are a natural progression from the extraordinary results gleaned from our industry-leading aquaculture technology, as well from promising strides in the ez Poultry digestive enzyme products.
Just as pertinent in any farming endeavor, profitability is the ultimate test of success in swine farming. At a time when feed ingredient prices are steadily climbing and erasing profitability in swine production, the introduction of Great Lakes Bio Systems digestive enzymes presents a revolutionary break from classical approaches to cost-effectiveness and ease of application.
Feedmills, which now have to face the prospect of cutting down on production based on demand and the farmers inability to pay rising prices, have resorted to substituting traditional feed ingredients with other materials in order to meet price points. This often adversely results in lower quality feed. However, with the addition of Great Lakes Bio Systems digestive enzymes, substituted feed ingredients can be made more nutritious. The Great Lakes Bio Systems digestive enzymes, being a broad-based formula, contains corresponding enzymes to catalyze lipids, proteins, fibers, complex carbohydrates and other ingredients towards greater absorption and digestibility.
By adding digestive enzymes into the feed, millers are able to improve feed performance and bioavailability, and target animals are able to increase digestive absorption and nutritional uptake. Because feed ingredients vary widely from batch to batch (due to substitution or multiple sourcing), the caloric content or quality likewise differs. As such, precise supplementation of crude proteins and amino acids, among others, toward an optimum level is almost unattainable, as any supplementation will likely fall below or above the nutrient requirement of the target species.
With the addition of Great Lakes Bio Systems digestive enzymes, however, higher performance can be expected even from substituted feed ingredients, allowing feed manufacturers to achieve a respectable level of quality from batch to batch. Crude and substitute proteins, lipids and carbohydrates will become easier to digest, and animals will enjoy better feed conversion ratios and will have the ability to maximize the uptake of dietary nutrients in most any feed.
In simple terms, standard quality feed will become better quality, even when some standard ingredients are substituted.
Great Lakes Bio Systems Digestive Enzymes satisfy the need of feed manufacturers and farmers on two levels:
- Cost Consideration - The cost to apply Great Lakes Bio Systems Digestive Enzymes are very low. All Great Lakes Bio Systems Digestive Enzymes are sold as ultra-concentrates. Most formulations are dosed at less than a penny per kilo of feed.
- Ease of Application - More importantly, Great Lakes Bio Systems Digestive Enzymes can be added directly to the raw mash during the mixing stage PRIOR to pelleting. This results in a more fluid production line, AND dramatic savings on energy, labor, cost of additional equipment and production time.
Enzymes for topdressing, as well as for enriching the drinking water are likewise available for application by end-users.
The overall attractiveness of Great Lakes Bio Systems digestive enzyme technology is its ability to transform less digestible feed ingredients into substantially more digestible forms and make these ingredients extremely beneficial to target animals, resulting in better feed, higher profits, and continuous production at the feed mills.
