PROEASE PROEASE

An Identified Cysteine Protease

Introduction

Proease is a highly efficient, food-grade proteolytic enzyme designed to improve protein digestion and optimize nutrient absorption in poultry. Derived from microbial and plant-based sources, this ultra-filtered cysteine protease formulation is characterized by its ability to hydrolyze complex proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Developed with precision, Proease works alongside endogenous enzymes like pepsin and pancreatic proteases, enhancing the breakdown of both vegetable and animal proteins throughout the digestive tract.

How Proease Works

Protein digestion in poultry begins in the proventriculus, where the environment is highly acidic (pH 2.5–3.0), and continues into the duodenum with a near-neutral pH (6.0–6.8). However, natural enzymes alone often fall short in completely digesting feed proteins.

Proease bridges this gap by cleaving peptide bonds more extensively than native enzymes. It demonstrates strong proteolytic activity across various protein substrates, esters, and amides — facilitating thorough hydrolysis even in challenging pH conditions. This leads to superior nutrient release and absorption in broilers, layers, and breeders.

Key Benefits

  • Enhances digestion and absorption of plant and animal proteins
  • Significantly reduces nutrient loss in excreta, improving nutrient retention
  • Breaks down anti-nutritional factors in feed ingredients
  • Minimizes harmful gaseous emissions and disease spread
  • Improves overall protein digestibility, leading to lower feed costs
  • Enables 4–6% reduction in crude protein and amino acids in feed formulations without compromising performance
  • Active at wide pH Range - 3.5 to 9.0
  • Thermostable up to -90°C
