Essential to animal metabolism, glucose is ingested in the form of starch, usually from cereal grains in the feed. As most animal diets contain 400-500 g/kg of starch, successfully converting it into glucose is critically important for optimal energetic status. Due to its molecular structure, however, starch is variably digested by swine and poultry. The addition of in-feed exogenous amylase has shown potential to support the efficient digestion of dietary starch and improve performance.
