VETOZIM MULTI - AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR THE POULTRY INDUSTRY by O. Khodakivskyi, Ye. Baranovskyi

“…Vetozym Multi significantly increases the efficiency of feed use, an increase in average daily weight gain of broilers by 1..2.5 g is observed, the conversion rate of compound feed for poultry is reduced by 0.02…0.07 and the cost of recipes is reduced by 300-500 UAH/t, which became possible due to the optimization of the use of sunflower and grain products with a high fiber content. The presence of thermostable enzymes in the composition of the Vetozym Multi preparation allows it to be used in the production of compound feeds with advanced heat treatment at a conditioning and granulation temperature of up to +90 °C, which will contribute to a more complete breakdown and assimilation of raw material components, in particular carbohydrates, proteins and fiber. …”
