Effi cient utilization of fi ber, crude protein, lipids and phosphorous by the livestock species especially poultry and pigs results in higher productivity and profi tability. Digestive enzymes like fi brolytic enzymes, proteases, lipases and phytases play an important role in effi cient utilization of fi bre and other nutrients in diet. Feeds used for broiler birdâ??s production are oft en pelleted and the ability of added enzymes to withstand this heat treatment is questionable (Al Bustany, 1996). Usually commercial poultry feed is pelleted for the convenience of handling and enhanced bird performance. Th e stability of feed enzymes is an important consideration due to susceptibility to inactivation by pelleting heat and moisture and also during storage. Published research suggests that feed enzymes are inactivated to various degrees during heat processing such as pelleting and during storage. Recently, encapsulation or coating technology is adopted by feed enzyme companies (Danisco, 2009). Th e coated enzyme phytase claimed to be having excellent thermostability. New patents in U.S (Nyachoti, 2010) also suggest that coating of animal feed enzymes off ers greater stability to heat and other physicochemical conditions during processing and storage of feeds. Th e current status of coating of feed enzyme can be seen only as published patents or company released abstracts and no details are specifi ed about the encapsulation/coating process. Th e standardized encapsulation/coating process for feed enzymes helps to enhance thermal and storage stability by identifying the appropriate encapsulation materials and process, without aff ecting the functionality or in-vivo release of enzymes. Th e evaluation of certain enzyme performance in monogastric farm animals is also presented.
