A look at protease enzymes in crustacean nutrition
Food digestion involves digestive enzymes to break down polymeric macromolecules and facilitate nutrient absorption. Enzyme supplementation in aquafeeds is a major alternative to improve feed quality and nutrient digestibility, gut health, compensate digestive enzymes when needed, and may also improve immune responses.

Phytase unlocks plant potential in aquafeeds
Phytase is a phosphatase enzyme with a specificity of action for the phosphate groups on the phytic acid structure, cleaving off those groups in a strict order.
