Nutrase® Xyla is a bacterial endo-1,4-beta-xylanase, designed for use in pig and poultry rations with a high content of arabinoxylans. Nutrase® Xyla is produced by Bacillus subtilis, which makes it today the only EU registered bacterial xylanase preparation available on the market.

The Nutrase® feed enzyme application has been developed in close co-operation with several universities and research institutes across Europe. Many years of intensive research, both in official trials as well as in field trials, have shown that its bacterial origin gives it some very distinctive and valuable characteristics, distinguishing it clearly from xylanase preparations of fungal origin.

It reaches its highest efficiency in rations with a high inclusion of wheat and wheat by-products. Many years of practical experience have shown that it also has an important effect on improving the digestibility of other grains, such as barley, corn, rice, rye and sorghum.

Nutrase® key distinguishing properties:

·Endoxylanase of bacterial origin
·Optimal activity at neutral pH
·Low sensitivity for xylanase inhibitors
·High affinity for water-insoluble arabinoxylans
·High ratio of endo-xylanase / exo-xylanase activity
·Higher efficiency in viscosity reduction
·Outstanding stability in the premix, during pelletization and during storage
