Natugrain® TS

Icons: Animal feed solution for Pig, Poultry

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
