This disclosure is directed to methods of formulating a customized animal feed that includes a customized enzyme composition. Methods of achieving one or more zootechnical objectives for an animal are also provided.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to feed additive formulations for monogastric animal feed. Particularly, the disclosed formulations comprise an isolated xylanase enzyme and a B. licheniformis strain PWD-1. The feed additive formulations may further include B. amyloliquefaciens strain Ba-BPD1. The disclosed formulations are useful for addition to feeds for monogastric animals to synergistically improve the performance of the animals.

The present invention relates to the use of isolated polypeptides having protease activity and isolated polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides in animal feed and detergents. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides in e.g. animal feed and detergents.

The present invention relates to animal feed or animal feed additives comprising polypeptides having protease activity and uses thereof. Specifically, the proteases are serine S1 proteases from Janibacter, Terracoccus and Knoellia, all belonging to the family Intrasporangiaceae of the suborder Micrococcineae. The proteases have a high activity at a broad pH-range (pH 3-7) and are thus highly active during the entire passage through the digestive tract. It also relates to the methods for producing the proteases and for using the proteases to improve animal performance and the nutritional value of animal feed.
