Targeting peptidoglycans for improved feed efficiency

Growing birds efficiently and sustainably, that is the biggest challenge of any poultry operation. Utilising all available nutrients in the feed is key. Timely catalysis of peptidoglycan could help to avoid a ‘build up’ of bacterial cell debris in the poultry gut, maintaining normal gastrointestinal function and effective nutrient digestion and absorption. The cost of feed generally represents between 60-70% of the total costs associated with animal production. As such, the global feed indu
