Market pressures and a growing interest in sustainability are driving interest in the use of alternative (local) raw materials in swine diets. Alternatives, especially processed raw materials and co-products, tend to be higher in phytate, fibre and indigestible protein, than the parent grain or oil-seed. This reduces feed efficiency. Therefore, the use of enzymes in swine diets containing alternative raw materials can also deliver benefits for sustainability, as losses are minimized and reduced.

In the growing industry of aquaculture, many enzymes such as protease are being used to promote digestion and nutrient absorption, enhance resistance to disease, and reduce production costs as well as environmental pollution.
