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

-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.
