Hemicell® Feed Enzyme for Swine
hogs

Hemicell® is an animal feed product for monogastric animals containing the enzyme β-Mannanase. Soybean meal contains the anti-nutritive fiber β-Mannan which inhibits complete utilization of feed by hogs. Hemicell® degrades this fiber andimproves the feed efficiency by 4% to 9%, gain by 2-18%, and can reduce the culling rate in swine herds. The benefits of Hemicell® have been confirmed in many trials. Read more about the trials in detail below.

Environmental Issues

Improvements in feed conversion should translate to reduced excreta per unit of lean meat produced. Studies have verified this, showing improvements in the fecal digestibility of energy, protein, and fiber, and the ileal digestibility of dry matter, protein, and lysine. With increasing environmental concerns, the use of Hemicell® can assist the producer by minimizing waste.
