Hemicell® Feed Enzyme for Turkeys
turkeys

Hemicell® is a proprietary and unique enzyme-based feed additive for poultry diets. Soybean meal contains β-Mannan, an anti-nutritive fiber which inhibits live performance in turkeys. This fiber is degraded and eliminated by Hemicell®. Recently, matrix values for Hemicell® have been developed that may be used to formulate Hemicell® into turkey feeds. Hemicell® is a natural, non-GMO, product made by fermentation.

Mechanism of Action

Hemicell® Feed Enzyme is a source of β-Mannanase enzyme which degrades the β-mannan fiber found primarily in soybean meal. The elimination of this fiber provides three commercial benefits. These are; (A) more efficient utilization of feed ingredients including water, (B) an improvement in the uniformity of turkey body weights, and (C) a reduction in mortality rates. The magnitude of these improvements are enhanced when the turkeys are presented with a disease challenge. Read more about the benefits in detail.
