  • Patent number: 10765661
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for improving growth performance animals. In particularly, the inventors of the invention found that the addition of a proteolytic enzyme (protease) to regular animal diets results in a significant improvement of growth performance if the proteolytic enzyme is supplemented and combined with vitamin C.

  • Patent number: 10412977
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and uses of at least one bacterial amylase in poultry feed to improve the nutritional value of the feed. The invention also relates to poultry feed and poultry feed additives comprising at least one bacterial amylase and at least one vitamin and/or mineral which improve the nutritional value of the feed.

  • Publication number: 20190160156
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of at least one acid stable protease in poultry feed in combination with anti-coccidial vaccination of birds for increasing the performance of vaccinated animals. It has been found surprisingly that the additions of at least one acid stable protease according to the invention to the diet of “cocci”-vaccinated birds have a significant improvement of animal performance. The inventors found that especially the use of serine proteases improve the performance of vaccinated broiler chickens, in particular, the use of serine proteases increases weight gain and improves Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of cocci-vaccinated birds.
