Natugrain® TS

Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) are the least digestible compounds in feedstuffs used for pig and poultry.

Their anti-nutritional properties reduce the utilization of dietary nutrients by increasing digesta viscosity and by trapping valuable nutrients. Natugrain® TS contains BASF’s highly purified NSP-degrading enzymes endo-1, 4-β-xylanase and endo-1,4-β-glucanase. Natugrain® TS improves the digestibility of nutrients and energy utilization from feedstuffs such as wheat, corn, rye, barley, sorghum, etc.

Your benefits at a glance

  • Increasing the release of nutrients and energy from the diet
  • Decreasing digesta viscosity
  • Aiding effective fermentation in the hindgut
  • Improving feed efficiency

Natugrain® TS, a mix of xylanase and ß-glucanase that supports feed utilization based on three interactive modes of action

Mechanism of action 1
Reduction of digesta viscosity
Breakdown of viscous arabinoxylans and ß-glucans which reduces intestinal viscosity and increases nutrient utilization.
Mechanism of action 2
Cell wall disruption
Degradation of plant cell walls releases trapped nutrients, which can be digested by the animal.
 
Mechanism of action 3
Release of oligosaccharides
Depolymerization of arabinoxylans into XOS/AXOS which provide positive prebiotic effects.

Natupulse® TS
Nutrients are not utilized partly due to antinutritional factors (ANFs) like ß-mannans which are contributed by soybean meal and other plant-derived protein sources in commercial diets. By adding Natupulse® TS containing the NSP enzyme ß-mannanase to the feed, nutrient and energy digestibility can be improved, supporting a more sustainable animal protein production.

Natuphos® E
As a pioneer in the field of enzymes in animal nutrition, BASF launched Natuphos®, the first phytase, more than 30 years ago. Since then, nutrients such as phosphorus, other minerals and amino acids present in feed can be better utilized. With BASF Natuphos® E, the first commercial hybrid-6-phytase, BASF is once again setting a new standard in feed phytase technology from which our customers and partners in the feed industry can benefit.
