Enzyme Fermentation Produces Cellulase for Animal Feed Additive
Product Description Nutrizyme® CEA (Acid Cellulase) [EC 3.2.1.4] is a highly concentrated cellulase preparation produced by submerged fermentation of Trichoderma reesei followed by purification and formulation. Its thermostability and wide working pH range ensure its effectiveness in digestive tracts. This product can hydrolyze 1, 4-beta-D-glycosidic linkages in plant cellulose, lichenin, and cereal β-D-glucans. The three active components in the product work cooperatively to degrade cellulose into glucose, where:
- Endo-cellulase (EG) hydrolyzes cellulose randomly to generate reducing and nonreducing ends.
- Exo-cellulase (CBH) further degrades oligomers liberated by EG, releasing cellobiose, which is glucose dimers linked by β-1, 4 glycosidic bonds.
- Beta-glucosidase (BG) can hydrolyze cellobiose into glucose.
Definition of Unit
1 unit of cellulase equals to the amount of enzyme, which degrades 4 mg/ml sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to release 1 μmol reducing sugar (in glucose) in 1 min, at 37℃ and pH 5.5.

Functions & Benefits
As a feed additive, it helps animals with digestibility and immunity; speeds up their growth, improves milk yield of cows, and laying performance of laying hens.
- Disrupt plant cell wall, completely release the nutrients, and promote nutrient digestion and absorption.
- Eliminate anti-nutritional factors, reduce viscosity of gastrointestinal chyme, and enhance animal performance.
- Improve the micro-ecosystem in the animal intestinal tract, prevent trophism diarrhea.
- Improve feed consistency, minimize the quality differences of feed products caused by variations in feedstuff raw material.
- Reduce the nutrients in the animal excrement; improve the animal house sanitation and reduce environmental pollution.
Safe Handling Precautions
Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic types of symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes, or nasal mucosa. Any direct contact with the human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a doctor.
