  • Publication number: 20210227853
    Abstract: The presence of either a calcium source or a carbonate source with GH30 xylanses significantly improves the release of xylan oligomers from maize and other feeds compared to the same xylanases without the calcium or carbonate source. Animal feed and animal feed additives comprising a combination of one or more polypeptides having xylanase activity; and one or more sources of calcium; and/or one or more sources of carbonate, wherein the polypeptide is a GH30 xylanase provide for improved xylan release from feedstuff.
