Consistent Digestibility Improvement
Axtra® XB is a multi-enzyme combination developed by IFF Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health for use in animal nutrition. Containing xylanase and beta-glucanase for poultry, Axtra® XB reduces the negative effects of non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) commonly found in mixed grain diets. It supports the release of valuable nutrients, reduces digesta viscosity, limits excessive gut secretions, and improves both litter quality and fecal consistency.
Key Benefits
• Reduction of Anti-Nutritional Effects
Axtra® XB lowers digesta viscosity and reduces excessive gut secretions, improving fecal consistency and litter quality. It rapidly breaks down arabinoxylans and β-glucans, minimizing their antinutritional impact on nutrient absorption.
• Proven Results
Improved digestibility consistently leads to better feed conversion ratio (FCR) and body weight gain (BWG) across all species.
• Gut Health
The Danisco xylanase in Axtra® XB generates more AXOS (arabinoxylan oligosaccharides) compared to competitor products. AXOS act as prebiotics, supporting microbial balance in the gut.
• Sustainability and Environmental Benefit
Better nutrient absorption reduces the excretion of undigested nutrients, lowering the environmental impact of animal waste.
• High Thermal Stability
Axtra® XB maintains superior stability across a wide range of pelleting temperatures, delivering more robust performance than many commercial enzymes.
Applications:
Axtra® XB is suitable for broilers, layers, breeders, turkeys, ducks, and other poultry species. This broad range of applications is designed to improve nutrient absorption and performance across different types of birds.
Product Forms:
Thermostable Granular Form
Resistant to high temperatures during pelleting, maintaining its effectiveness throughout the feed manufacturing process.
Usage Instructions:
The dosage of Axtra® XB may vary depending on the animal species, age, and feed formulation. We recommend consulting your regional manager for appropriate dosing and application methods.
Conclusion:
Thanks to its unique enzyme composition, Axtra® XB enables the formulation of cost-effective diets using various ingredients and alternative raw materials.
It eliminates the antinutritional effects of arabinoxylan and β-glucan, delivering consistent improvements in digestibility—enhancing animal performance and increasing profitability.
