Managing protein in the gut :
The benefits for poultry production

The Jefo Protease has been designed to enhance the management of feed protein flow in poultry. It aids in reducing feed costs, allows the use of alternative protein sources, and promotes improved intestinal integrity.

Is It More Than Amino Acids Release?

Why Do Protein and Amino Acids often Limit Performance?

Effective protein management in poultry diet is vital for optimal production. However, numerous factors can influence actual protein intake, resulting in high variability.

Feed/Raw materials

  • Cost/Prices variability
  • Availability of synthetic amino acids
  • Valorization of local sources

Animal

  • Digestibility variability: age, transit time, health, etc.
  • Evaluation of amino acids requirements: impact of immunity, gut restructuring, etc.

Microbiota

  • Ability to use non-digestible protein:
    bad fermentation, alteration of gut integrity, ammonia production

This significant variability can often limit zootechnical performance.

Managing Feed Protein Flow: A Crucial Challenge

To manage feed protein flow effectively, it’s necessary to act on the digestible protein fraction, releasing oligopeptides absorbed by the bird for better performance. It’s also crucial to control the non-digestible protein fraction, which can be used by pathogenic bacteria, affecting intestinal integrity.

Lower Non-Digestible Protein in the Gut to Improve Intestinal Integrity

The Jefo Protease optimizes feed assimilation in the small intestine, reducing indigestible protein content in the hindgut.

Lowered nitrogen waste, resulting in:

  • Reduced environmental impact
  • Improved air quality and lung health
  • Enhanced litter quality leading to reduced pododermatitis incidence

Reduces the indigestible portion of feed ingredients that favor bacteria growth
