Dried Aspergillus niger Fermentation Extract

Dried Aspergillus niger fermentation extract is a feed ingredient derived from the controlled fermentation of substrates using the fungal species Aspergillus niger. This filamentous fungus is widely utilized in industrial biotechnology due to its ability to produce a variety of enzymes.

In equine feed formulations, dried A. niger fermentation extract is primarily included as a source of digestive enzymes such as amylase, cellulase, phytase, and protease. These enzymes aid in the breakdown of complex feed components like starch, fiber, and phytate-bound phosphorus, enhancing nutrient availability and digestion.
