TOPICS
ABSTRACT
In recent decades, swine nutritionists have become increasingly
concerned about the competition between human and livestock populations for
limited animal and plant resources. Consequently, research efforts have shifted
towards exploring alternative, cost-effective feedstuffs and evaluating their
potential for incorporation into swine diets. In addition to investigating alternative
ingredients such as barley, triticale, rye, pulses, and non-conventional oilseeds
and their byproduct, advancements are also being made to improve the
digestibility of conventional maize and soybean meal-based swine diets, which
have long been the industry benchmark for energy and protein supply. However,
monogastric animals like pigs lack or have insufficient levels of enzymes
necessary to break down non-starch polysaccharides and other anti-nutritional
factors present in cereals and oilseed coproducts, as well as in traditional feed
ingredients. Therefore, the inclusion of enzymes into pig diets is essential to
maximise nutrient utilisation from a complex feed matrix. Enzymes commonly
employed in the feed industry include cellulase, β-mannanase, β-glucanases,
xylanases, phytases, proteases, lipases, and galactosidases. The addition of
phytase and protease supplements not only improves nutrient availability but
also helps to mitigate environmental issues. This review provides an overview of
current literature regarding the role of enzyme supplementation in optimising the
sustainable use of both alternative and traditional feed resources. It describes
the effects of these enzymes on pig performance, nutrient digestibility, and their
broader environmental implications.
