Coating of mixed commercial β-mannanase and phytase through spraying on capra hircus pelleted feed

Abstract

Pelleting ingredients were processed and subsequently coated homogeneously with mixed solution of β-mannanase and phytase. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of enzyme coated and colour measurement on goat pelleted feed containing mixed commercial enzymes. The coated enzymes efficiency (%) and colour characteristic of feed were investigated. The high percentage of coating efficiency was obtained. After sprayed pellet demonstrated darker colour of brown compared to initial pellet. High coating efficiency and determination colour values are important attributes for initial step towards enzymes delivery in animal rumen and attributes to the value-added characteristic of the pellet, respectively
