Mannans, particularly β-mannans, are non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) found in soybean meal and other plant-based ingredients. These fibers increase chyme viscosity, limiting nutrient absorption and creating favorable conditions for pathogenic bacteria in the gut.  Since monogastric animals lack endogenous enzymes to break down mannans, their presence in feed reduces energy availability and overall performance.

BEX Mannanase Dry is an enzyme that hydrolyzes β-mannans, breaking down plant cell wall fibers and reducing intestinal viscosity. This process enhances protein, mineral, and vitamin absorption, making nutrients more available for growth and feed conversion. By breaking down β-mannans, it also helps reduce unnecessary immune activation, allowing animals to direct more energy toward growth and performance. Additionally, by preventing chyme thickening, it contributes to a healthier gut environment, limiting conditions that favor pathogenic microflora.

Dosage is species dependent

BEX Mannanase Dry improves fiber breakdown, nutrient absorption, and feed efficiency, ensuring animals extract more energy and nutrients from their diet. By mitigating the anti-nutritional effects of β-mannans, it supports better growth, gut health, and performance, making it a valuable tool for monogastric nutrition.
