Do enzymes play role in gut health? AJAY AWATI 09/03/2015, Bangkok, Thailand For further details: Email: ajay.awati@dupont.com
Higher purpose! 1960 2010 2050 Achieved Dream Food on plate for extra 4B people Extra 3B still to feed 4/20/2015 Approximates Based on 2011 Hunger report, www.bread.org
How animal production contributed to this achievement? 4/20/2015 Based on Rauw 1998 & Ross recommendations

Then why dream is still distant? Improved growth Improved efficiency Public Health Animal welfare Improved growth Improved efficiency Quality of animal products Animal health Environment Most of these issues are gut health related 4/20/2015 Bad news is AMGPs are going away, we must think beyond
Today s argument: Enzymes with their impact on gut health, can be an alternative during transition to post AMGP era 4/20/2015
Conventional Germ-free Oral Injected New Old Response Relative to Control When, how and why AMGPs work? 130 120 110 100 90 80 70 60 Control Antibiotic - AMGPs work more effectively in gut - AMGPs work more effectively under stress Animals Mode of Administration Facilities Anderson, 1999
Stress and gut microflora Intestinal motility is affected Stress Favourable conditions for microbiota in small intestine Microbial Overgrowth Enzyme production is affected
NSP contents in diet contribute further to the problem Animal diets contain Cereals 40 9 43 40 25 29 Soluble NSP levels are high unconventional cheap ingredients with high NSP contents Barley Corn Oats Rye Wheat Wheat bran Concentration of soluble NSPs g/kg DM Bach Knudsen, Anim. Feed Sci. Technol. 67:319-338
Soluble NSPs in diet and gut health Increased viscosity in Small Intestine Increased digesta retention time in Small Intestine Soluble NSPs Decreased nutrient digestibility Decreased Performance Decreased oxygen tension in Small Intestine Increased microbial growth in Small Intestine
s were effective by reducing microbial overgrowth in the small intestine caused by stress & soluble NSP content of the diet.
Enzymes can be part of the solution Small Intestine Large Intestine -De-polymerisation of soluble NSPs -Reduction in viscosity -Increased nutrient digestibility -Digesta transit time is better regulated -Lesser microbial overgrowth -Better nutrient absorption -De-polymerisation of soluble NSPs produce smaller oligomers which utilized by healthy microflora -Increased energy availability by higher VFA production -Lower pathogen pressure Choct 1997

Enzymes show synergy with other feed additives-dfm AMEn (kcal/kg DM) 3093 a 3042 b 2960 c 2995 c 35 82 133 Control Bacillus XAP Bacillus +XAP Animal: Broilers Enzyme: XAP; Probiotic: 3 Bacillus strains 4/20/2015 Romero et al., 2013
Enzymes show synergy with other feed additives-essential Oils P <0.05 4/20/2015 Challenge: Salmonella Heidelberg d1 Amerah et al., 2012
Enzymes in post AMGP era AMGPs prevent microbial overgrowth in small intestine by antimicrobial activity Enzymes prevent microbial overgrowth in small intestine by substrate reduction Appropriate use of either single or combinations of enzymes through the effects on gut health can play a vital role in sustainable animal production in post AMGP era
