FUMzyme®: Mitigating the Negative Impact of Fumonisins in Pigs

According to the most recent 2023 corn crop mycotoxin survey from dsm-firmenich, 94% of the samples tested positive for more than one mycotoxin and 78% of the corn samples were contaminated with multiple mycotoxins. Co-contamination of multiple mycotoxins can result in additive or synergistic effects. Mycotoxin mitigation strategies can be added to the diet to prevent absorption of the mycotoxins as well as enzymes to detoxify mycotoxins. Read more to learn about a study that was conducted at the University of Kentucky to understand how multiple mycotoxins impact nursery pigs’ performance and the impact of FUMzyme® as a mitigant.

The Supportive Role of Dietary Phytogenic Compounds

Phytogenic compounds, which are found in plants, can provide nutritional benefits when consumed. While the benefits of dietary phytogenic compounds can be broad, their effects are primarily associated with their ability to regulate various metabolic pathways. Phytogenic compounds, often in the form of polyphenols, can positively impact oxidation and inflammation, cardiac function, and digestion when consumed regularly. The Digestarom® product line is species specific and can be added to animal feed as a source of phytogenics to support the health and well-being of animals.

Optimizing Swine Nutrition and Resilience Part 2: A Step Forward in Sustainable and Efficient Pig Production with Dietary Ingredients

In the pursuit of sustainable swine agriculture, the selection of feed and the incorporation of enzyme supplements are of paramount importance. Especially in the United States, where corn and soybean are cornerstones of the typical swine diet, enzymes offer transformative potential. Not only do they enhance the nutritional value of these mainstay feeds, but they also champion environmentally-friendly swine feeding practices. Beyond just conventional diets, enzymes also show promise in optimizing alternative feed sources. This article explores the scientific foundations of enzyme benefits, the burgeoning potential of alternative feedstuffs, and the nuances of diet granularity.
