Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for incorporating additive(s) during conditioning an animal feed, so designed that the additive(s) undergo stress to a minimum because the additive(s) is(are) exposed to a high temperature for only a limited time. SOLUTION: This system works as follows: a feed is conveyed from a feed container 1 via a mixing screw 12 through an inlet M along a path A to an outlet N; during the above process, the feed is exposed to steam; at least one additive introduced into a conditioner 3 is added to a portion of the feed passed through x% of the path A inside the conditioner 3, and the feed and the additive(s) added thereto are mixed together in the remaining (100-x)% of the path A; the resulting mixture discharged from the conditioner 3 through the outlet N is conveyed to a pelletizing press 7 where the mixture is formed into pellets, which are finally conveyed to a cooling unit 9.
Abstract:
The invention relates to oily suspensions of at least one water-soluble enzyme and to a method for the production of said suspensions and the use thereof as additives for animal feed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a stabilized solid or liquid enzyme formulation comprising at least one phosphatase and at least one stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of agar, algin, carrageenan, furcelleran, ghatti gum, tragacanth gum, gum karya, guaran, locust bean gum (=carob bean gum), tamarind seed gum, arabinogalactan, xanthan (gum), at least one animal protein and mixtures thereof, with the proviso that if gelatine is used in granules as solid formulations as the only stabilizing agent, the granules are subsequently coated. The invention also relates to processes for producing these formulations, especially to solid formulations (e.g. granules) and their use in animal and/or human nutrition.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel methods for producing coated granulated enzyme-comprising feed additives, to the coated enzyme-comprising granules produced in this manner, and also to feed compositions which are obtainable using the coated granules. This method comprises the following steps: a) Extrusion of an enzyme-comprising dough which, in addition to water, comprises i) 50 to 96.9% by weight of at least one solid carrier material suitable for feed, ii) 0.1 to 20% by weight of at least one water-soluble polymer, iii) 3 to 49.9% by weight of at least one enzyme, the weight fractions of i), ii) and iii) in each case being based on the nonaqueous components of the dough; b) final-processing the extrudate to give raw granules having a water content of no greater than 15% by weight, and c) coating the raw granules with a hydrophobic material selected in an extent of at least 70% by weight, based on the hydrophobic material, from saturated fatty acids, the esters of saturated fatty acids, in particular the mono-, di- and triglycerides of saturated fatty acids, and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel phytase-comprising enzyme granules, those particles of which have A) a core which comprises at least one phytase and at least one solid carrier material suitable for feeds, and b) a coating arranged on the core, the cores of the particles or the entire particle, after if appropriate required grinding, on suspension or dissolution in demineralized water at 25° C. giving a pH in the range from 4.5 to 6.5, preferably in the range from 4.6 to 6.0, and particularly preferably from 4.7 to 5.5 and which are suitable as feed additives, and also a method for production thereof. The invention also relates to the use of the phytase-comprising enzyme granules in feed compositions and, in particular, pelleted feed compositions, which are obtainable using the phytase-comprising enzyme granules.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel phytase-comprising enzyme granules, the particles of which have a weight-average particle size in the range from 300 to 800 mum and the specific phytase activity of which, expressed in FTU/g, is at least 13 000 and does not exceed a value of FTUmax=6000[FTU g-1].D-3.mm3, D being the weight-average particle diameter of the granule particles in mm. The invention further relates to phytase-comprising enzyme granules for feeds, the particles of which have a weight-average particle size in the range from 300 to 800 mum and the specific phytase activity of which, expressed in FTU/g, is at least 7000, and does not exceed a value of FTUmax=2000[FTU g-1].D-3.mm3, D being the weight-average particle diameter of the granule particles in mm. The invention also relates to the use of the phytase-comprising enzyme granules in feed compositions and, in particular, pelleted feed compositions, which are obtainable using the phytase-comprising enzyme granules.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process and the associated apparatus for metering and dissolving pulverulent enzymes and applying them to solid feed products. The apparatus comprises the following main components: a metering unit for pulverulent enzymes (I), a liquid reservoir unit (II), a mixing unit (III), a metering unit of the enzyme-containing liquid (IV) and an application apparatus (V). The individual main components are linked to one another by various connection units and are connected to a computer unit (22) which controls not only the operation of the individual main components but also their nteracti
