The article deals with the rising feed costs due to the current economic situation and the global political landscape. In particular, the conflict in Ukraine has increased prices for commodities such as wheat, sunflower meal, oil, and corn. In order to reduce feed costs, exogenous enzymes such as carbohydrases, proteases, and phytases are used to improve the digestibility of grains and oilseeds. The use of these enzymes can result in significant savings in feed costs. It is also emphasized that optimizing enzyme matrices and selecting enzymes based on feed composition and animal needs are important. The use of feed enzymes such as carbohydrases, proteases, and phytases can improve the digestibility of grains, legumes, and oilseeds, thus reducing feed costs. These enzymes increase energy and amino acid intake and improve the digestibility of minerals. Significant savings in feed costs can be achieved through the use of enzyme combinations. In times of high commodity prices, feed enzymes are a valuable technology for improving the profitability and sustainability of animal production. It is recommended to optimize the application of feed enzymes to further enhance the value of this technology. DSM and Novozymes have been collaborating in a partnership alliance for over 20 years and have introduced several groundbreaking enzyme technologies to the market during this time. The combined use of these enzymes can lead to significant nutrient release, reducing cost pressures in feed production. Recommendations for optimizing the value of feed enzymes also take into account the lack of full additivity on the nutrient matrices of neighboring enzymes and are supported by peer-reviewed meta-analyses and independent studies with leading professors. There are various strategies to optimize the value of feed enzymes, such as adjusting the enzyme dosage to the phytate content or the energy and fiber matrices. The use of enzyme combinations can also result in significant cost savings. It is recommended to consult with a local feed enzyme specialist to receive tailored recommendations that best align with the specific goals of the nutritionist, feed composition, and desired formulation approaches.
