Enzymes are fundamental to digestion, nutrient utilization and health, but what determines their impact in animals?

It starts with understanding the relationship between the enzyme, its substrate, the environment in which it needs to work, and the animal.

In this BioSphere Essentials webinar, we’ll explore these fundamental principles and show how they help explain the role and application of enzymes across animal nutrition and health.

Discover how enzymes interact with specific substrates, how conditions within the digestive system influence their activity, and how differences between animals, diets and production systems can shape their impact.

Using examples from across poultry, swine, ruminant and aquaculture nutrition, we’ll connect enzyme mode of action with practical outcomes, and provide a scientific foundation for evaluating enzyme solutions.

You’ll learn:

• How enzymes work and why substrate specificity matters

• How the substrate, digestive environment and animal influence enzyme activity

• How supplemental enzymes can help unlock nutritional value from feed

• How certain enzymes can play a direct role in gut health and overall animal health

• Why different challenges require different enzyme approaches

• Why enzyme applications and outcomes can differ across species and production systems

• How to connect enzyme mode of action with real impact
