Abstract

Advances in ruminant nutrition require new strategies for manipulation of rumen fermentation, so that the beneficial effects are enhanced and the deleterious minimized or excluded. Food additives have been used as a strategy, which when added to food, retain, enhance or modify their properties, without affecting its nutritional value. The use of fibrolytic enzymes in ruminant diets has shown promising results, providing improvements in fiber degradability, production indexes and ruminal parameters. The aim of this review is to address the use of additives in ruminant diets, their advances in the last decades and compile results from studies using fibrolytic enzymes in ruminant nutrition
