Abstract

Abstract A trial involving 24 weaned piglets was conducted to evaluate the effect of two alpha-galactosidases, associated or not with a cellulase and hemicellulase enzyme mixtures, for improving the nutritive value of a cereal– Lupinus albus based diet. Enzyme supplementation was unable to improve apparent ileal digestibility of crude protein and true ileal digestibility of amino acids. However, ileal digestibility of NDF tended to increase with enzyme supplementation, suggesting a residual hemicellulase activity in both α-galactosidases mixtures under analysis.
