  • Method for increasing carcass yields in poultry
    Patent number: 6333062
    Abstract: A poultry feed composition including protein, vitamins and minerals, and a source of carbohydrates from the group consisting of soybean meals and corn supplemented with an &agr;-galactosidase-based enzyme blend that catalyzes the degradation of the galactoside. The addition of the &agr;-galactosidase-based enzyme blend increases the ratio of gain to feed, increases the amount of white meat, increases the mass and yield of the carcass, or decreases the amount of fat deposited during growth of a chicken fed the feed composition, relative to the chicken fed on an identical feed composition absent the &agr;-galactosidase-based enzyme blend.
