In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show, Dr. Ruurd Zijlstra from the University of Alberta discusses the significant role of enzymes in swine nutrition, particularly focusing on non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) enzymes. He provides insights into enzyme history, their application in enhancing digestibility, and the potential impact on swine health and production efficiency. Tune in to learn more about optimizing feed formulations with enzymes to boost swine production efficiency.
"NSP enzymes help degrade fiber, but the type of fiber depends on the feedstuffโitโs not one-size-fits-all."
