Trichoderma longibrachiatum - Feed Ingredient

Trichoderma longibrachiatum is a species of filamentous fungus commonly used in agriculture and feed applications for its enzymatic activity and ability to degrade complex plant materials. It produces various enzymes, including cellulases, hemicellulases, and proteases, which can support fiber breakdown and nutrient release.

In equine nutrition, T. longibrachiatum may be included as part of a microbial enzyme additive or fermentation product to enhance the digestibility of high-fiber diets. It is not a direct nutrient source but is used functionally to aid in digestive efficiency, particularly in feeds containing fibrous ingredients like beet pulp, hay, or byproduct meals.
