Lysozyme – Feed Additive for Poultry and Swine
Lysozyme is a high-activity biological enzyme preparation designed to support gut health and overall productivity in livestock and poultry. It works by hydrolyzing the β-1,4 glycosidic bonds in bacterial cell walls, disrupting the peptidoglycan structure of harmful bacteria and helping maintain a balanced intestinal microbiota. This targeted action strengthens the animal’s natural defenses, reduces pathogenic load, and enhances nutrient absorption efficiency.
Product Overview
Lysozyme is a naturally occurring enzyme widely used in modern animal nutrition as a non-antibiotic solution to improve intestinal integrity and feed efficiency. As part of a comprehensive feeding strategy, Enzyme Lysozyme enhances gut ecology and reduces the negative effects of stress and feed changes. It contributes to stable growth performance and improved feed utilization, making it ideal for sustainable and antibiotic-free animal production systems.
Mechanism of Action
Lysozyme (N-acetylmuramide glycanohydrolase) catalyzes the breakdown of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan. By lysing gram-positive bacteria and inhibiting gram-negative bacterial growth indirectly, it helps suppress harmful microorganisms while supporting beneficial flora. This enzymatic effect reduces intestinal inflammation, promotes epithelial regeneration, and enhances mucosal integrity, contributing to improved animal health and performance.
Key Benefits
- Enhances intestinal health: Balances gut microflora, strengthens intestinal barrier function, and promotes efficient nutrient absorption.
- Boosts feed efficiency: Improves both innate and adaptive resilience, helping animals resist common infections and stress-related disorders.
- Improves feed conversion efficiency: Enhances feed digestibility and nutrient utilization, resulting in improved growth rate and feed cost savings.
- Reduces environmental challenge incidence: Helps lower the occurrence of enteric and respiratory environmental challenges, minimizing mortality and veterinary interventions.
- Supports recovery and reproduction: Reduces postpartum inflammation in sows, promotes piglet vitality, and improves poultry laying performance and egg quality.
- Decreases antibiotic dependency: Provides a natural, enzyme-based approach to environmental challenge prevention, supporting sustainable farming practices.
