Advantages for monogastrics animals

• Improvements in feed conversion rate and increased digestive use of starch, since glucose is more efficient than the volatile fatty acids produced in the large intestine.

• Enhanced palatability of feed and contribution to the increase of solid food intake and the gradual replacement of lacto-replacements.

• Increase in average daily gain..

• Less anti-diarrhoea medication because of the smaller amount of fermentable substrate reaching the large intestine and increased lactic acid production in the stomach.

• Smaller tails, resulting in more uniform litters.

• Improved energy value as a result of increased fat digestibility.

• Increased digestibility of protein as a consequence of the reduction of anti-nutritional factors and protein denaturation.
