Appearance Powder
Introduction | Keratinase is produced through submerged fermentation of Aspergillus niger, followed by purification and formulation. This protease has broad specificity, capable of degrading both water-soluble and insoluble proteins. It efficiently hydrolyzes keratin into smaller peptides and amino acids, outperforming most non-keratin degrading proteases. Keratin, which is commonly found in fur, feathers, horns, hooves, and fish scales, is highly resistant to proteolysis due to its tightly cross-linked disulfide bonds and hydrophobic amino acids. Keratinase is unique in its multifunctional enzymatic activity, targeting both disulfide bonds and peptide links, making it highly effective at depolymerizing keratin and enhancing the digestibility of protein-rich feed with similar structures. |
Benefits |
Turn feather into feed with good digestibility. Improve utilization of feed containing specific protein sources that resist normal digestion. Complement digestive enzymes in young animals to improve their growth. Help make better fermented soybean meal by generating more smaller peptides with better palatability. Boost protein utilization by animals to reduce nitrogen excretion in manure and environmental pollution. |
