Publication number: 20150216203Abstract: A feed additive composition comprising a direct fed microbial (DFM), in combination with a xylanase (e.g. endo-1,4-?-d-xylanase) and a ?-glucanase (and optionally a further fibre degrading enzyme), wherein the DFM is selected from the group consisting of an enzyme producing strain; a C5 sugar-fermenting strain; a short-chain fatty acid-producing strain; a fibrolytic, endogenous microflora-promoting strain; or combinations thereof. The DFM may be selected from the group consisting of: Bacillus subtilis AGTP BS3BP5, Bacillus subtilis AGTP BS442, B. subtilis AGTP BS521, B. subtilis AGTP BS918, Bacillus subtilis AGTP BS1013, B. subtilis AGTP BS1069, B. subtilis AGTP 944, B. pumilus AGTP BS 1068 or B.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2013Publication date: August 6, 2015Applicant: DUPONT NUTRITIONAL BIOSCIENCES APSInventors: Mai Faurschou Isaksen, Marion Bernardeau, Luis Fernando Romero Millan, Elijah Gituanjah Kiarie, Susan Lund Arent, Piiivi Helena Nurminen, Sofia Forssten, Daniel Petri, Elizabeth Ann Galbraith
