Hemicell®
Hemicell® is a proprietary and unique enzyme-based feed additive used in poultry and swine diets. The β-mannanase active ingredient in Hemicell® breaks down the anti-nutritive β-galactomannan in soybean and other legume meals, providing many benefits to the producers. Hemicell® adds value by improving live performance in terms of feed efficiency, ability to withstand challenges to the innate immune system, and making live weights more uniform. At the same time, Hemicell® offers environmental benefits by reducing the stickiness of fecal matter and improving litter quality. Hemicell® is available in liquid and dry forms, for post-pellet or un-pelleted mash feed programs.
Hemicell®-W
Hemicell-W® is a feed enzyme system containing β-mannanase and xylanase, designed to improve feed efficiency, average daily gain, weight uniformity, and litter quality when used in animal diets containing both soy and wheat. Hemicell®-W products are available in liquid and dry forms. |
Hemicell®-HT
Hemicell®-HT is a thermally stable product developed to provide all of the same benefits as Hemicell®, but allow application into the mixer. In tests, Hemicell®-HT retained more than 80% β-mannanase activity when used in commercial feeds conditioned at 190° F (88° C) for up to 60 seconds. Hemicell®-HT may be added directly into the feed mixer and then pelleted. There is no need to have or install post-pelleting spray application equipment. See the Hemicell®-HT product description for information on the many benefits of this unique feed enzyme. Hemicell®-HT is available in liquid and dry forms.
Zymannase™
Zymannase™ is the newest feed enzyme product offered by ChemGen, introduced in 2011. This enzyme combination of β-mannanase and β-glucanase aids the breakdown of β-mannans present in soy and of β-glucans in the bioethanol by-product, corn dried distillers grains and solubles (DDGS). Often used at high levels in mash feed produced by swine growers, DDGS contains β-glucans, which activate an innate immune response in swine. Zymannase™ differs from other β-glucanase products on the market, which target the β-1,3(4)-glucans present in barley and oats. In contrast, the β-1,3-glucanase in Zymannase™, is specifically used to break apart β-1,3-glucan derived from yeast cell walls present in DDGS, and known to stimulate immune response. By using Zymannase™, the response is modulated and live performance is improved. Zymannase™ is available in a dry form. |
