Agrinews24 International: In the continuing search for sustainable, antibiotic-free animal farming solutions, researchers have spotlighted a powerful enzyme supplement—Gutfitzyme®GOX as a game-changer for improving livestock health and performance. Developed by Challenge Group, this glucose oxidase-based additive has demonstrated remarkable benefits across multiple animal species, including pigs, broilers, ducks, and layers.
Enhancing Animal Health Naturally
Gutfitzyme® GOX HT is a functional enzyme blend featuring glucose oxidase (GOX), known for its ability to improve gut health by generating gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. These compounds reduce intestinal oxygen levels, promoting beneficial anaerobic bacteria and inhibiting harmful pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella. This not only lowers the incidence of diarrhea and enteritis but also contributes to improved feed absorption and overall animal performance.
Antibiotic Reduction and Feed Efficiency
With its antibacterial properties, Gutfitzyme® offers a compelling alternative to traditional antibiotic growth promoters. Studies revealed a decrease in feed conversion ratios (FCR) and an increase in average daily gain (ADG). For instance, piglet trials showed a reduction in diarrhea by up to 20%, while broiler tests indicated improved feed intake and survival rates comparable to those achieved using antibiotics.
Scientific Trials Support Performance Claims
A series of trials conducted between 2018 and 2019 across various experimental farms confirmed the product’s efficacy:
- In piglets, Gutfitzyme® improved daily weight gain by 110g and reduced FCR by 0.13.
- In broilers, a 300g/t dosage improved survival rates and enhanced the European Production Index (EPI), outperforming even some antibiotic-treated groups.
- Layer hens saw a 0.5% increase in egg production rates, translating to significant economic gains over a full cycle.
Resilience and Versatility
The enzyme formulation was found to retain over 85% activity after exposure to high temperatures (80°C) and acidic conditions, making it highly stable during feed processing. It also effectively acted on various substrates, including corn starch and soybean meal, enhancing its utility across different animal diets.
Economic Impact
Practical applications indicate substantial cost savings. In piglets, reduced feed waste saved approximately ¥3.9 per piglet. For broilers, feed savings reached ¥0.525 per bird. Layer operations could gain over ¥150,000 per cycle for every 100,000 birds based on improved egg output.
Commercial Adoption Rising
Leading agricultural enterprises in China have begun integrating Gutfitzyme® into their feeding programs. Usage has expanded to tens of tons per month across listed companies in the poultry and feed industries, showcasing growing trust in its commercial viability.
A Future Without Antibiotics?
With the global push to reduce antibiotic usage in animal husbandry, Gutfitzyme® GOX HT stands out as a viable, science-backed solution. As more data and field trials confirm its benefits, this innovative enzyme may soon become a staple in modern, sustainable animal nutrition.
