Feed Grade Acid Protease Enzymes For Animal Nutrition Additive
Introduction
Nutrizyme® PRA is an acid protease preparation and Nutrizyme® PRN is a neutral protease produced by submerged fermentation of Aspergillus niger and Bacillus subtilis, respectively, followed by purification and formulation.
Protease catalyzes the cleavage of peptide bonds in a polypeptide (protein) chain, producing smaller molecular peptides and amino acids. The cleavage improves protein’s dispersibility, solubility, palatability, and digestibility, and therefore helps animals with the digestion and absorption of nutrients in feed and better utilization of feed.
Definition Of Unit
1 unit of Acid Protease equals to the amount of enzyme, which hydrolyzes casein to get 1 μg of tyrosine in 1 min, at 40℃ and pH 3.0.

Safe Handling Precautions
Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic-type 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.
