Hemicell XT:
Feed the solution
Hemicell XT, containing β-mannanase, is a patented formulation that breaks down β-mannans, found in many animal feed vegetable ingredients.
β-mannanase completely prevents the damaging effects of β-mannans and so allows a reduction in feed costs, while still maintaining growth and productivity as well as improving sustainability and animal health.
