VemoZyme® P

Stable, broad-spectrum protease complex

VemoZyme® P is a powerful, highly stable, broad spectrum protease complex, designed to efficiently break down a wide range of proteins from both plant and animal sources. Engineered for optimal performance within the animal’s digestive system, VemoZyme® P significantly enhances nutrient absorption, promoting superior growth, improved gut health, and overall higher productivity in livestock. By enabling the effective use of more cost-efficient protein sources, VemoZyme® P not only lowers feed costs but also supports better animal health by limiting the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines.  

Why VemoZyme® P?

VemoZyme® P is an exceptionally stable protease, engineered to withstand the high temperatures of feed production and remain effective across a broad pH range within the animal’s digestive system. Optimized to perform best at temperatures between 37-60°C, VemoZyme® P aligns perfectly with the natural body temperatures of poultry (42°C) and pigs (38°C), ensuring maximum efficiency where it matters the most. Its dual function of enhancing protein digestibility and inhibiting bacterial growth makes VemoZyme® P an essential additive for boosting animal performance, lowering feed costs, and enabling the use of more economical protein sources. 

  • HIGHLY HEAT STABLE
  • NO DISSOLUTION TIME
  • NO COATING

VemoZyme® P endures the acidic conditions in the animal’s GI tract and preserves its activity so the effectiveness of the product remains intact. 

VemoZyme® P stays active throughout the digestion process – from the mouth to the hindgut and withstands the acidic pH of the stomach as the protease has a broad pH range of 4.0 – 9.5 with an optimal of 4.5 – 7.5 and works best in the small intestine.

VemoZyme® P also contains additional alpha-amylase activities. 

  1. Withstands extremely high temperatures during feed production.
  2. Maintains activity across a broad pH range.
  3. Improves protein digestibility.
  4. Inhibits bacterial growth, promoting health.
  5. Enhances overall animal health and productivity.
  6. Reduces feed costs by allowing the use of more cost-effective protein alternatives and diminishing the need to add additional protein to the feed.

VemoZyme® P significantly enhances dietary protein hydrolysis, leading to improved nitrogen utilization. When animals better utilize nitrogen, it becomes feasible to reduce the overall protein content in their diet. Indigestible proteins are effectively broken down by proteases into peptides that the animal can easily absorb. By incorporating VemoZyme® P into compound feeds with reduced crude protein levels, it’s possible to substitute a portion of e.g. the soybean meal with more cost-effective ingredients, lowering feed costs. 

Indigestible proteins can be degraded by proteases, generating peptides that are easily manageable by the animal. Implementing VemoZyme® P allows the use of low crude protein feed with cost-effective amino acids, thus reducing feed cost.  

VemoZyme® P is applied at a dose of 125 – 250 g/t feed for layers, broilers, and swine.

The addition of VemoZyme® P leads to reducing the feed consumption for one-kilogram growth by 8.0% on average and improving the body weight gain by 4.3%.

 

Figure 2. VemoZyme® P in broilers’ feed

The addition of VemoZyme® P to the compound feed with reduced levels of crude protein, respectively amino acids, helps to increase the live weight of the chicken round by 4% and improves the FCR by 8 % compared to the negative control group.

The application of VemoZyme® P compensates for the reduced amino acid level in the feed.

 

Using VemoZyme® P for piglets:

  • Improves feed digestibility and enhances growth
  • Leads to better feed efficiency regardless of the protein content
  • Reduces protein fermentation and improves intestinal functions
  • Limits pathogenic bacteria growth in the intestines – e.g. E.coli
  • Optimizes animal health and performance at the early stages of development, adding more hidden value to future livestock

Young piglets need high amounts of digestible protein in their diet to facilitate early growth and muscle mass accumulation. However, diets high in protein can cause intestinal disorders, and scours, and ultimately increase morbidity through excess protein fermentation in recently weaned piglets.
