Axtra® XB TPT is an enzyme combination for pigs and poultry designed to reduce the negative effects of certain non-starch polysaccharides found in mixed grain diets. Axtra® XB TPT supports the release of valuable nutrients from animal feed, improves digestibility, nutrient utilization, and improves litter quality and fecal consistency.
Non-starch polysaccharides—such as arabinoxylans and β-glucans—are major components of plant cell walls and are abundant in plant-based feed ingredients. However, because of the lack of enzymes in monogastric animals, arabinoxylans and β-glucans are not used and remain in the gut with varying degrees of physiological effects.
Both arabinoxylans and β-glucans bind with water in the intestines, resulting in the formation of gels that increase the viscosity of the intestinal contents. The increase in viscosity of the intestinal contents associated with increased gel formation negatively affects digestion and nutrient absorption.
Axtra® XB TPT overcomes the anti-nutrient effects of arabinoxylan and β-glucan and promotes a consistent improvement in digestibility. The improved digestibility provided by Axtra® XB TPT results in better feed conversion and weight gain, which improves animal performance and increases profitability.
Axtra® XB TPT allows for flexible inclusion rates according to feed ingredients and specific feed formulation for maximum value. Axtra® XB TPT can be combined with Axtra® PHY or Axtra® PHY GOLD phytases for even better feed performance and cost savings.
Axtra® XB TPT offers safe, accurate, and easy handling. Thermo-protected Axtra® XB TPT allows pelleting at temperatures of up to 90°C for convenience and flexibility. Axtra® XB TPT allows variability in ration design and raw ingredient selection. Axtra® XB TPT—for reliability and performance for mixed grain diets.
