Description
Diky Ramdani and co-authors review enzyme feed additives for ruminant animals in a 2025 meta-analysis. Cattle, sheep, and goats turn fibrous plants into protein through fermentation, and added enzymes are meant to help them digest that fiber better, but study results vary.
The team searched four scientific databases and screened studies under the PRISMA protocol. Single studies often showed better digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, and fiber in both lab and live-animal tests. Pooled across studies, though, the effect on crude protein digestibility was not significant. The paper helps farmers and feed makers judge where enzymes help and where claims outrun the pooled evidence.
