Abstract
Description
FEED COMPOSITION FOR RUMINANTS THAT INCLUDES A MURAMIDASE i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to methods for improving digestibility in ruminants using ruminant feed comprising polypeptides having muramidase activity. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Muramidase is a lysozyme also known as N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase, which is an O-glucosyl hydrolase produced by many organisms as a defense mechanism against bacteria. The enzyme causes hydrolysis of the bacterial cell wall by cleaving the glycosidic bonds of the peptidoglycans; an important structural molecule in bacteria. After the cell wall has been weakened by the action of muramidase, the bacterial cells lyse as a result of unbalanced osmotic pressure. Muramidase occurs naturally in many organisms, such as viruses, plants, insects, birds, reptiles, and mammals. In mammals, muramidase has been isolated from nasal secretions, saliva, tears, intestinal contents, urine, and milk. The enzyme cleaves the glycosidic bond between carbon number 1 of N-acetylmuramic acid and carbon number 4 of N-acetyl-DRef. 310697 glucosamine. In vivo, these two carbohydrates polymerize to form the cell wall polysaccharide of many microorganisms. Muramidases have been classified into seven different families of glycoside hydrolases (GH) (CAZy, www.cazy.org): GH18, GH19, the hen egg white lysozyme (GH22), the goose egg white lysozyme ( GH23), bacteriophage T4 muramidase (GH24), Sphingomoñas flagellar protein (GH73) and Chalaropsis muramidases (GH25). Muramidases of the GH23 and GH24 families are known mainly from bacteriophages and have only recently been identified in fungi. The GH25 muramidase family has been found to be structurally unrelated to the other muramidase families. In addition, an additional class of polypeptides having muramidase activity has been identified in PCT / CN2017 / 084074, muramidases are referred to herein as novel MUR polypeptides having muramidase activity, where muramidase activity is defined in the section on definition and representative muramidases are listed in the sequence listing. Muramidase has traditionally been extracted from chicken egg white and has been called chicken egg white lysozyme due to its natural abundance. Until recently, egg white lysozyme from i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi chicken was the only muramidase investigated for use in animal feed. Muramidase extracted from chicken egg white is the main product available on the commercial market, but it does not cleave N,6-Odiacetylmuramic acid in, for example, Staphylococcus aureus cell walls and is therefore not capable of lysing this important human pathogen among others (Masschalck B, Deckers D, Michiels CW (2002), Lytic and nonlytic mechanism of inactivation of gram-positive bacteria by muramidase under atmospheric and high hydrostatic pressure, J Food Prot. 65(12): 1916-23). WO2000 / 21381 describes a composition comprising at least two antimicrobial enzymes and a polyunsaturated fatty acid, wherein one of the antimicrobial enzymes was a GH22 muramidase from chicken egg white. GB2379166 describes a composition comprising a compound that disrupts the peptidoglycan layer of bacteria and a compound that disrupts the phospholipid layer of bacteria, wherein the compound that disrupts peptidoglycan was a muramidase GH22 from egg white of hen. WO2004 / 026334 describes an antimicrobial composition for suppressing the growth of enteric pathogens in the intestine of cattle comprising (a) a cell wall lysing substance or its salt, (b) an i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi substance antimicrobial, (c) a sequestering agent and (d) an antibiotic, wherein the cell wall lysing substance or its salt is muramidase GH22 from hen egg white. The demand for ruminant products, such as dairy products and meat, is on the rise, resulting in an increased demand for ruminant feed. An object of the invention is to improve nutrient use efficiency in feed to reduce the environmental impact of dairy and meat production. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention provides ruminant feed compositions, such as a ruminant feed, ruminant feed supplements or ruminant feed additives, comprising one or more muramidases, wherein the muramidase is in an amount sufficient for administration to a level of 1 to 200 mg of enzyme protein per kg of feed for ruminants. Furthermore, there is provided a method for increasing the dry matter digestibility of a ruminant feed, ruminant feed supplement or ruminant feed additive comprising the steps of: a) providing at least one muramidase; b) provide a ruminant feed, ruminant feed supplement or ruminant feed additive suitable for a ruminant i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi animal; c) applying the muramidase to the ruminant feed, ruminant feed supplement or ruminant feed additive to form a ruminant feed composition; and d) administering the ruminant feed composition to the ruminant animal, whereby an increase in dry matter digestibility is effected. In one embodiment of the invention, rumen volatile fatty acid (VEA) production is increased compared to rumen VEA production of a ruminant not fed a muramidase. In a further embodiment, rumen propionate production is increased compared to rumen propionate production of a ruminant not fed a muramidase and / or rumen propionate production is increased compared to of acetate in the rumen of a ruminant that is not fed muramidase. The muramidase used in the present invention may be of microbial origin. In one embodiment, the muramidase comprises one or more domains from a family of glycoside hydrolase (GH) selected from the list consisting of GH24, GH25, and novel MUR polypeptides having muramidase activity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION DEFINITIONS Acetate: Acetate is used interchangeably herein with the term acetic acid and is one of the volatile fatty acids (VFAs) produced in the rumen. It is a precursor for the synthesis of mammalian milk fat and is also used for energy metabolism of muscle and synthesis of body fat. The amount of acetate in the rumen is a measure of the rumen fermentation of the ingested feed, thus an increase in rumen acetate i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi is an indication of increased energy supply for ruminants. Antimicrobial Activity: The term antimicrobial activity is defined herein as an activity that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms, such as algae, archaebacteria, bacteria, fungi, and / or protozoa. The antimicrobial activity can be, for example, bactericidal, meaning the killing of bacteria; or it may be bacteriostatic, meaning prevention of bacterial growth. Antimicrobial activity may include catalyzing the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta bonds between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan and between W-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrins. Antimicrobial activity may also include binding of muramidase to the surface of the microorganism and inhibiting its growth. The antimicrobial effect may also include the use of the muramidases of the present invention for activation of bacterial autolysins, as an immunostimulator, inhibiting or reducing bacterial toxins, and for an opsonin effect. Meat Production: The term meat production is defined herein as the production of meat from cattle raised for meat production. Meat production can be measured, for example, i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi by feed intake, daily feed intake, body weight gain, mean daily gain, present carcass dressing, composition of the carcass and carcass classification. Butyrate: Butyrate is used interchangeably herein with the term butyric acid and is one of the volatile fatty acids (VFA) produced in the rumen. It is a precursor to β-ΟΗ-butyrate for the synthesis of mammalian milk fat and is also used for energy metabolism of muscle and synthesis of body fat. The amount of butyrate in the rumen is a measure of the rumen fermentation of the ingested feed, so an increase in butyrate is an indication of increased energy supply for ruminants. Concentrates: The term concentrates means feed with a high and fast digestibility of dry matter (DMd). Concentrates are typically feeds with relatively high protein and / or energy concentrations and low Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) concentrations, such as molasses, oligosaccharides, sorghum, seeds, and grains (either whole or prepared by milling, crushing, etc. from eg corn, oats, rye, barley, wheat), oilseed presscake (eg cottonseed, safflower, sunflower, soybean, rapeseed / canola, peanut or peanut kernel), palm kernel cake, yeast-derived material, and distiller's grains (such as wet distiller's grains (WDS) and dry distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS)). Dry Matter Digestibility (DMd) : Digestibility refers to the extent to which a feed is broken down and absorbed in an animal's body as it passes through the digestive tract. The term "dry matter digestibility" means the disappearance of dry matter from the feed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by a given animal at a specified level of feed intake. The DMd is measured as the percentage difference in the dry matter (DM) ratio between the ingested feed and the excreted faeces from the ingested feed. The rumen DMd is therefore the percentage difference in the proportion of dry matter between the ingested and digested feed that passes into the distal compartments of the rumen and describes the potential for ruminant microbes to degrade and digest the MD of the feed. Energy Corrected Milk (ECM): Energy corrected milk is a means of adjusting milk production for the amount of the major components in the milk that affect the energy concentration (lactose, fat, and protein) in the milk and determines the amount of milk produced adjusted to 3.5 percent fat and 3.2 percent protein. ECM is calculated herein as described by Sjaunja, L.O., Baevre, L., Junkkarinen, L., Pedersen, J., Setala, J. A Nordic proposal for an energy corrected milk (ECM) formula in: P. Gaillon, Y. Chabert (Eds.) Performance Recording of Animals: State of the Art, 1990: Proceedings of the 27th Biennial Session of the International Committee for Animal Recording. Wageningen Academic Publishers, Wageningen, The Netherlands; 1991:156-157. Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR): FCR is a measure of the efficiency of an animal (herein a ruminant) in converting feed mass into the desired output, eg body mass. The FCR is calculated as the feed intake divided by the animal's weight gain, all over a specified period. By lower feed conversion ratio or improved feed conversion ratio it is meant that less feed is needed to increase the weight of the animal and / or the milk production of the animal. A 2% improvement in FCR means that the FCR was reduced by 2%. Feed efficiency: The expression feed efficiency is the ratio of live weight gain to dry matter intake (DMI) or energy-corrected milk production per kg dry matter intake (kg ECM / kg DMI ). The higher the number, the better. Fodder: The term fodder as defined herein also includes fodder rich in indigestible material. Forage is NDF-rich plant material, such as hay and silage from forage plants, grass and other forage plants, algae and legumes, or any combination of these. Examples of fodder plants are alfalfa, horned lotus, Brassica (for example kale, rapeseed, rutabaga, turnip), clover (for example Trifolium hybridum, red clover, subterranean clover, white clover), grass (for example Cynodon dactylon, Bromus, Arrhenatherum elatius, Festuca, Danthonia decumbens, Poa, Dactylis, Lolium, Phleum pratense), whole crop products using corn, millet, barley, oats, rye, sorghum, soybean and wheat and vegetables such like beets. Fodder also includes crop residues from grain production (such as corn stover; wheat straw, barley, oats, rye, and other grains); vegetable residues such as beetroot tops; waste from oilseed production such as stems and leaves of soybeans, rapeseed and other legumes. Fungal Muramidase: The term "fungal muramidase" means a polypeptide having muramidase activity that is or can be obtained from a fungal source. Examples of fungal sources are fungi; that is, the muramidase is or can be obtained from the kingdom Fungi, where the term kingdom is the taxonomic category. In particular, fungal muramidase is or can be obtained from the phylum Ascomycota, such as the subphylum Pezizomycotina, where the terms phylum and subphylum are the taxonomic categories. If the taxonomic status of a polypeptide is unknown, it can be readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art by performing a BLASTP search for the polypeptide (using, for example, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCIB) website http: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ) and comparing it to its closest counterparts. An unknown polypeptide that is a fragment of a known polypeptide is considered to be from the same taxonomic species. An unknown natural polypeptide or artificial variant comprising a substitution, deletion and / or insertion at up to 10 positions is considered to be from the same taxonomic species as the known polypeptide. Ionophore: The term ionophore is used herein for antibiotics, eg, macrolide antibiotics and / or growth-enhancing feed additives for animals such as ruminants, that catalyze the transport of ions across hydrophobic membranes, such as bilayers. lipids found in living cells and show high affinities for ions, such as, for example, Na+, H+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and / or K+. Examples of ionophores include, without limitation, monensin, which, for example, is used in the i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi meat and dairy industries to prevent coccidiosis, increase propionic acid production, and prevent tympanitis. Isolated: The term isolated refers to a substance in a form or environment that is not found in nature. Non-limiting examples of isolated substances include (1) any substance that does not occur naturally, (2) any substance, including, but not limited to, any enzyme, variant, nucleic acid, protein, peptide, or cofactor, that has been separated, at least in part, from one or more or all of the naturally occurring constituents with which it is associated in nature; (3) any substance modified by human intervention from the substance found in nature; or (4) any substance modified by increasing the amount of the substance relative to other components with which it is naturally associated (for example, multiple copies of a gene encoding the substance; the use of a more powerful promoter than the promoter naturally associated with the gene encoding the substance). An isolated substance may be present in a sample of fermentation broth. Mature Polypeptide: The term "mature polypeptide" refers to a polypeptide in its final form after translation and any post-translational modifications, such as N-terminal processing, C-terminal truncation, glycosylation, phosphorylation, etc. Milk production: The term milk production is used to describe the total milk production of dairy cattle. Milk production is measured in the total amount of milk produced, it can be expressed as daily milk production or milk production per lactation, defined as the period from the day of calving to dry off, defined as the day the cow leaves to give milk Drying day is normally about 300 days after calving. Milk production is measured in kg milk or energy corrected kg milk (ECM) to account for variation in milk solids. Muramidase: The term muramidase is used for polypeptides that have glycoside hydrolase activity and catalyze the hydrolysis of beta-1,4 bonds between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan. In turn, hydrolysis compromises the integrity of bacterial cell walls, causing lysis of the bacteria. Other terms for muramidase include lysozyme and N-acetylmuramide glucanhydrolase. Muramidase Activity: The term muramidase activity means the enzymatic hydrolysis of beta-1,4 bonds between W-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan or between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrins, causing bacteriolysis due to osmotic pressure. Muramidase belongs to the EC 3.2.1.17 class of enzymes. Muramidase activity is typically measured by turbidimetric determination. The method is based on changes in the turbidity of a suspension of Micrococcus luteus ATCC 4698 induced by the lytic action of muramidase. Under suitable experimental conditions, these changes are proportional to the amount of muramidase in the medium (see, INS 1105 of the Compendium of Specifications for Food Additives of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (www.fao.org)). . Organic matter digestibility (DMd): The digestibility of organic matter is defined as the DMd, but where the amount of organic matter is calculated as: 0M=DM-ash, where the ash content is determined after total combustion of the DM of the feed. Propionate: Propionate is used herein interchangeably with the term propionic acid and is one of the volatile fatty acids (VFA) produced in the rumen. Propionate is the main precursor for glucose synthesis by ruminants, glucose is used for lactose metabolism and energy. The amount of propionate in the rumen is a measure of rumen fermentation of ingested feed, thus an increase in rumen i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi propionate is an indication of increased glucose supply for ruminants. Ruminant: The term ruminant means an animal that digests plant-based feed initially by fermenting / degrading it in the animal's first compartment of the stomach complex, primarily through bacterial action, subsequently retaining the small particles and regurgitating the semi-degraded mass, now known as ruminate and chew it again. The process of re-chewing the rumination to further break down the plant matter and stimulate digestion is called rumination. Examples of ruminants are cattle, cows, dairy cattle, food cattle, buffaloes, calves, goats, sheep, lambs, deer, reindeer, yaks, camels, and llamas. Feed for ruminants: The expression feed for ruminants or feed for ruminant animals refers to any compound, preparation or mixture suitable or intended for ingestion by a ruminant. Ruminant feed typically comprises forages (including fresh grass, forage rich in indigestible material, and silage) and may further comprise concentrates, as well as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, direct delivery microbial agents (DMF), amino acids, and / or other ingredients. of feed (such as in a premix). Ruminant feed can be fed in the form of a Total Mixed Ration (TMR), where all feed components are mixed together prior to feeding and fed as a mix or as a Partial Mixed Ration (PMR). ), where most of the feed components are mixed and fed together, but part of the concentrate is fed separately or may be fed as a feed for separate feeding, where all components are fed separately without mixing. Sequence identity: The degree of relatedness between two nucleic acid sequences or between two nucleotide sequences is described by the sequence identity parameter. For purposes of the present invention, sequence identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443-453) as implemented in the program Needle from the EMBOSS package (EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, Rice et al., 2000, Trends Genet. 16: 276-277), preferably version 5.0.0 or later. The parameters used are gap opening penalty of 10, gap extension penalty of 0.5, and the substitution matrix EBLOSUM62 (EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62). The Needle result identified as the longest identity (obtained using the short no i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi option) is used as the percent identity and is calculated as follows: (Identical remains x 100) / (Alignment length Total number of gaps in the alignment).Silage: Silage is a type of forage that is produced from the natural fermentation of moist plant material, such as fresh grass and whole crops. such as corn and barley. The fermentation process is carried out to preserve the moist material, in such a way that it can be used throughout the year. Substantially pure polypeptide: The term "substantially pure polypeptide" refers to a preparation containing at most 10%, at most 8%, at most 6%, at most 5%, at most 4%, at most 3 %, at most 2%, at most 1% and at most 0.5% by weight of other polypeptide material with which it is naturally or recombinantly associated. Preferably, the polypeptide is at least 92% pure, for example, at least 94% pure, at least 95% pure, at least 96% pure, at least one 97%, a purity of at least 98%, at least 99%, a purity of at least 99.5% and a purity of 100% by weight of the total polypeptide material present in the preparation. The polypeptides of the present invention are preferably in substantially pure form. i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi This can be achieved, for example, by preparing the polypeptide by commonly used recombinant methods or by classical purification methods. Variant: The term variant means a polypeptide having muramidase activity that comprises an alteration, ie, a substitution, insertion and / or deletion of one or more (several) amino acid residues at one or more (eg, several) positions. A substitution means the replacement of the amino acid occupying a position with a different amino acid; a deletion means the removal of the amino acid occupying a position; and an insertion means adding 1, 2 or 3 amino acids adjacent to and just after the amino acid occupying the position. In one aspect, a muramidase variant according to the invention may comprise 1 to 5; from 1 to 10; from 1 to 15; from 1 to 20; from 1 to 25; from 1 to 30; from 1 to 35; from 1 to 40; from 1 to 45; or 1-50, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 or 50 alterations and have at least 20%, for example, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least least 90%, at least 95% or at least 100% of the muramidase activity of the parent muramidase, such as SEQ.

Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs) / Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs): Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs), also called Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs), are fatty acids with fewer than six carbon atoms and include, for example , acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid and isovaleric acid. Volatile fatty acids (VFA) are produced from the fermentation of carbohydrates in the rumen and provide the main source of energy in ruminants. Therefore, the increase in VFA can be used as an indication of the increase in energy and nutrient supply for ruminants. Methods to improve the performance of ruminants The use of nutrients from ruminant feed is important for optimal production and animal health in modern production systems. Surprisingly, it has been found that supplementation of a ruminant feed with a muramidase according to the invention results in increased digestibility of rumen dry matter compared to when the ruminant feed is supplemented without the muramidase (as a control). By increasing the digestibility of rumen dry matter, ruminants are provided with more nutrients for production. In this way, the efficiency of nutrient use has been improved and the conversion of organic matter has been increased, such as, for example, microbial protein in milk by dairy cattle or in meat by slaughter cattle, compared to the conversion obtained with feed for ruminants without muramidase. In addition, it has surprisingly been found that rumen dry matter digestibility is improved in comparison to rumen dry matter digestibility obtained when commonly used commercially used ionophores for ruminants are provided. In one aspect of the invention, the nutrient use efficiency of the ruminant feed is increased. By increasing the nutrient use of ruminant feed, the same amount of milk and / or meat can be produced from fewer ruminant animals, reducing the use of natural resources and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per unit of milk and / or unit of meat produced. It also leads to a reduction in nitrogen and phosphate excretion per ruminant animal and therefore a total reduction in phosphate and nitrogen excretion per unit of production. Determination of dry matter digestibility can be carried out, for example, using an in vitro fermentation model adapted from Menke KH, Steingass H. 1988 (Estimation of the energetic feed value obtained from Chemical analysis and in vitro gas production using rumen fluid. Anim Res Dev. (1988) 28:7-55) as described in Example 1.

In a further embodiment, the number of conservative substitutions in the sequence Amino acid changes may be minor, ie, conservative amino acid insertions or substitutions that do not significantly affect protein folding and / or activity; small deletions, usually 1-30 amino acids; small extensions at the amino terminus or carboxy terminus, such as a methionine residue at the amino terminus; a small linker peptide of up to 20-25 residues; or a small stretch that facilitates purification by changing net charge or other function, such as a polyhistidine region, antigenic epitope, or binding domain. Examples of conservative substitutions are within the groups of basic amino acids (arginine, lysine, and histidine), acidic amino acids (glutamic acid, and 121 aspartic), polar amino acids (glutamine and asparagine), hydrophobic amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine), aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine) and small amino acids (glycine, alanine, serine, threonine and methionine). Amino acid substitutions that do not generally alter specific activity are known in the art and are described, for example, in H. Neurath and R.L. Hill, 1979, in, The Proteins, Academic Press, New York. Some common substitutions are Ala / Ser, Val / Ile, Asp / Glu, Thr / Ser, Ala / Gly, Ala / Thr, Ser / Asn, Ala / Val, Ser / Gly, Tyr / Phe, Ala / Pro, Lys / Arg, Asp / Asn, Leu / Ile, Leu / Val, Ala / Glu and Asp / Gly. The essential amino acids of a polypeptide can be identified according to procedures known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis or alanine scanning mutagenesis (Cunningham and Wells, 1989, Science 244: 1081-1085). In the latter technique, single alanine mutations are introduced at each residue in the molecule, and the resulting mutated molecules are tested for muramidase activity to identify amino acid residues that are crucial to the activity of the molecule. See also, Hilton et al., 1996, J. Biol. Chem. 271: 4699-4708. The active site of the enzyme or other biological interaction can also be determined by physical analysis of the structure, determined by 122 techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance, crystallography, electron diffraction, or photoaffinity labeling, along with mutation of putative contact site amino acids. See, for example, de Vos et al., 1992, Science 255: 306-312; Smith et al., 1992, J. Mol. Biol. 224: 899-904; Wlodaver et al., 1992, FEBS Lett. 309: 59-64. The identity of the essential amino acids can also be deduced from an alignment with a related polypeptide. The crystal structure of the muramidase CBS114.92 from Acremonium alcalophilum was solved at a resolution of 1.3 Á as disclosed in WO 2013 / 076253. These atomic coordinates can be used to generate a three-dimensional model illustrating the structure of the Acremonium alcalophilum muramidase CBS114.92 or homologous structures (such as variants of the present invention). Using the x-ray structure, residues D95 and E97 were identified as catalytic residues.

Ground feeds are normally mixed and sufficient amounts of essential vitamins and minerals are added according to the specifications for the species in question. Enzymes can be added as liquid or solid enzyme formulations. For example, for ground feed, a solid or liquid enzyme formulation may be added before or during the ingredient mixing step. For pelleted feeds, the muramidase / enzyme preparation (liquid or solid) can also be added before or during the passage of feed ingredients. Typically a liquid enzyme preparation comprises the muramidase of the invention optionally with a polyol, such as glycerol, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol and added after the pelleting step, such as by spraying the liquid formulation onto the pellets. Muramidase can also be incorporated into a feed supplement, feed additive, or premix. Alternatively, the protease can be prepared by freezing a mixture of liquid enzyme solution with a thickening agent such as ground soybean meal and 145 then lyophilizing the mixture.

To determine the mg of muramidase protein per kg DM of feed, the muramidase is purified from the feed composition and the specific activity of the purified muramidase is determined using a relevant assay (see below for muramidase activity). The muramidase activity of the feed composition as such is also determined i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi 147 using the same assay and, based on these two determinations, the dose in mg of muramidase protein per kg of feed is calculated. In one embodiment, the ruminant feed additive of the invention is intended to be included (or is prescribed to be included) in ruminant diets or feeds at levels of 0.01 to 10.0%; more particularly, from 0.05 to 5.0%; or from 0.2 to 1.0% (% refers to g of additive per 100 g of feed). This is so in particular for premixes. The same principles apply to determine the mg of muramidase protein in the feed supplement and feed additives. Of course, if a sample of the muramidase used to prepare the feed additive or feed is available, the specific activity is determined from this sample (it is not necessary to purify the muramidase from the feed composition, feed supplement or the feed additive). additional enzymes In another embodiment, the compositions described herein optionally include one or more enzymes.

EXAMPLES Muramidases were cloned, expressed, characterized and their muramidase activity assessed as described in WO 2013 / 076253. Example 1 - Effect of muramidase on the production of rumen fermentation gas and the digestibility of the dry matter of the feed Materials and methods: The in vitro fermentation model was adapted from Menke Y Steingass, (Menke KH, Steingass H. (Estimation of the energetic feed value obtained from Chemical analysis and in vitro gas production using rumen fluid. Anim Res Dev. (1988) 28:7 -55).The experimental design included negative control treatments (NC, only feed and rumen buffer), positive control (PC, feed and rumen buffer added to a commercial rumen modifier (Monensin)), muramidase (SEQ. ID NO : 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 and 27, muramidase negative control) and blanks (rumen buffer only), Table 1.

The used mineral buffer solution was prepared according to Menke and Steingass (1988), and heated in a 39°C water bath and continuously purged with CO2 for 60 minutes. Sodium sulfite was used as a reducing agent in the buffer solution (0.33 g / 1 of solution). Rumen fluid was collected from 2 Jersey heifers (housed at the University of Copenhagen Experimental Farm, Denmark). Rumen fluid was collected through the rumen cannula and poured into two thermal flasks preheated to 39.010.5 °C and immediately transferred to the laboratory. The rumen fluid was filtered through 3 layers of cheesecloth to remove feed particles and mixed with mineral buffer at a ratio of 1 to 2 (Menke and Steingass, 1988). Rumen fluid and buffer solution were dispensed into a 90 ml Duran flask with a lid equipped with a wireless pressure transducer and gas valve (Ankom RF Gas Production System, Ankom Technology®, Macedon, NY, USA). After filling with 0.500010.0010 g of feed sample (corn silage, soybean meal at a 2:1 ratio based on dry matter) and preheated overnight at 39 °C. Duram flasks were dosed with 1.00 ml of treatment solution (or water or solution of 180 muramidase or positive control solution) and mixed before closing the flasks. All enzyme solutions (A to I) were produced by Novozymes and administered according to mg of enzyme protein per kg of feed. Table 1. Monensin (monensin sodium salt hydrate, lot no. BCBR9717V, Sigma-Aldrich, Buchs Switzerland) was used as PC at the concentration of 22 mg / kg feed, Table 1. All procedures were carried out with continuous purge with CO2. The headspace of each flask after filling was 41 ml. Fermentation gas was automatically released from the flasks through the gas valve whenever the pressure increased 0.75 PSI. The pressure difference related to the opening of the gas valve was used to calculate the cumulative gas production (ΔΡ) using the ideal gas law: GP = (ΔΡ / Ρο) ' Vo (1) where: ΔΡ is the cumulative pressure change (kPa) in the free space of the flask; Vo is the free volume of the flask (41 mi), Po is the atmospheric pressure. Gas production data was expressed as ml / g of DM incubated at normal pressure and was not included in the present example, but was used to ensure sufficient fermentation activity. Dry matter after fermentation was measured and related to dry matter in the flasks to determine dry matter digestibility ((dry matter before - dry matter after) / dry matter before). Data were expressed as the relative improvement of the 181 DMd compared to control when bottom fermentation of blanks is taken into account. Data were statistically analyzed using the ANOVA procedure included in JMP 12.1.0 (SAS Institute Inc.) and presented as LS means; the initial model included treatment, trial, and interactions and after model evaluation was reduced to the main effect of treatment. Results The results of the DMd are presented in figure 1 and show that the addition of muramidase increases the in vivo rumen digestion at 48h of the dry matter of the feed compared to the positive control (monensin). The data also show that the addition of some muramidases can increase the DMd of the ruminant feed compared to NC. conclusions In conclusion, in the two replicates of the same study, a series of muramidases from 3 different classes showed an improvement in rumen dry matter digestibility compared to the normally used rumen additive, monensin. The data also showed that most of the muramidases improve the digestibility of rumen dry matter compared to NC. Example 2 - Dose response effect of 5 muramidases on rumen fermentation and digestibility of i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi 182 the dry matter of the feed Summary: In vitro rumen fermentation using rumen fluid and buffer showed that muramidase can increase dry matter digestibility and increase rumen production of total acetate, propionate and VFA and increase the amount of total carbon in rumen VFA. Materials and methods: The assay was carried out by Alimetrics (Alimetrics Ltd, Koskelontie 19B, FIN-02920 Espoo, Finland) using 120 ml serum bottles as fermentation vessels. The preparation and the fermentation procedure are presented in Kettunen et al., (Kettunen H., J. Vuorenmaa, D. Gaffney and J. Apajalahti (2016): Yeast hydrolysate product enhances rumen fermentation in vitro. J. App. Anim. Nutr., Vol. 4; el; page 1 of 7). In summary, the method is as follows: All the bottles were initially filled with lg of DM of feed consisting of corn silage, barley meal, soybean meal, in amounts of 0.5, 0.4 and 0.1 g of DM. , respectively. Subsequently, the bottles were purged with CO2 passed through a hot copper O2 scavenging catalyst and sealed with a thick butyl rubber stopper. Temperature-adjusted (+38°C) reduced, anaerobic artificial saliva buffer was introduced (modified from i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi 183 Agriculture Handbook No. 379, (USDA, Washington, D.C., 1975), 37.65 ml volume), freshly strained rumen fluid (5% inoculum; 2 ml volume) and test compounds (0.35 ml volume) into the vessels fermentation with a flow of CO2 free of oxygen. After collection of rumen fluid from a ruminally cannulated cow. Rumen fluid was pumped directly from the rumen into a preheated flask, immediately closed, and transported to the Alimetrics laboratory. Rumen fluid was used for inoculation within 2 hours of collection. To guarantee the presence of ruminal microbes associated with both liquids and particles in the inoculum, both fractions were obtained. The liquid and solid fractions were strained through a metal mesh (3 x 3 mm mesh size) under anaerobic conditions prior to buffer dilution. After inoculation with rumen fluid, buffer and test solution, the containers were sealed with butyl rubber septa. All fermentation vessels were inoculated in random order to prevent possible blocking effects. The inoculation time for each fermentation vessel was recorded and accounted for on each sample to ensure that the fermentation was the same for each sample. The fermentation was continued for 12h on a rotary shaker at +38°C. sennann / nznz / E / YiAi 184 measured the fermentation gas produced and relieved it by collecting the fermentation gas in syringes at 3, 6, 9 and 12h. Feed residues were measured after 12h of fermentation. The trial design was a completely randomized dose-response design with 28 treatments using 150 fermentation vessels according to Table 2. The 25 muramidase solutions were diluted to the required concentration in enzyme buffer (BSA, Tween 20, acetate buffer, calcium, NaOH, adjusted to pH 6). The negative control was supplemented with the same buffer that was used to dilute the enzymes to the same volume of liquid as the supplemented fermentation vessels. The ionophore monensin (monensin sodium salt, 90-95% TLC (Sigma Aldrich; Product Code: M5273-1G)) was selected as a positive control because it is a ruminant feed additive that affects fatty acid production. volatile (VEA). i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi Table 2: treatments, doses and study design Dose N / dose SEC.

Vuorenmaa, T. Rinttila, H. Grbnberg, E. Valkonen and J. Apajalahti (2015): Natural resin acid-enriched composition as a modulator of intestinal microbiota and performance enhancer in broiler chicken. J. App. Anim. Nutr., Vol. 3; e2; page 1 of 9). The digestibility of dry matter was quantified 186 by determination of the dry matter in the original feed matrix and in all fermentation vessels after 12h of fermentation. Feed residues from the fermentation vessels were obtained by filtration on tared sintered glass filters, washed with water and dried at 105°C for 12 hours. Finally, the glass filters are weighed to determine the dry matter of the residual feed. calculations and statistics Dry matter digestibility was calculated as the ratio between feed residues after finishing fermentation and initial dry matter. The sum of the VFAs was calculated as the sum of acetate, propionate, butyrate and valerate and the summed carbon in the VFAs was calculated by assigning the respective number of carbon atoms in the acetate, propionate, butyrate and valerate, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Relative improvement compared to NC was calculated for DMd and concentration of acetate, propionate, butyrate, total VFAs, and total carbon in VFAs. Data were analyzed for linear and quadratic effects using the linear regression algorithm included in the mixed procedure of SAS (SAS institute). Data presented are linear regression estimates and standard error, as well as least-squares means and standard error, unless otherwise stated. 187 Results : Data demonstrate that muramidases can affect rumen dry matter digestibility and VFA production in vitro, Figures 2-7. All muramidase treatments increased DMd when compared to control. The greatest improvement was for treatment C (9.5%), when the fermentation was supplemented with 0.8 mg / 40 ml. All muramidase treatments numerically increased ruminal acetate and propionate production compared to control. Acetate increased by 16.0% when treatment A was supplemented at 0.4 mg / 40 ml; at the same dose, propionate increased by 24%, resulting in an 11% increase in total VFA production, Figures 3 and 4, respectively. Treatment A and B also reduced rumen butyrate production compared to control, Figure 5. However, carbon in VFA was still positively affected despite the reduction in butyrate; the improvement in relation to the NC was up to 7.3%, figure 7. Linear regression analysis identified treatments A, B, and C as the most potent for increasing ruminal acetate and propionate production. Linear regression analysis also identified treatments A, B, and C as the most potent in reducing rumen production of i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi. 188 butyrate. The effect on acetate and propionate according to the dose of treatment A, B and C was quadratic. Total rumen VEA production and total carbon in rumen VEAs were affected in a quadratic manner by the muramidase dose for treatment C. Conclusion: In conclusion, the data demonstrate that muramidase can increase dry matter digestibility and increase rumen production of total acetate, propionate and VEA and increase the amount of total carbon in rumen VEA in vitro. Example 3 - Effect of 13 muramidases on ruminal fermentation and digestibility of dry matter of feed in vitro Summary: A fermentation study was carried out using 13 muramidases from the GH24, GH25 families of glycoside hydrolases (GH) and novel MUR polypeptides having muramidase activity; the number of enzymes evaluated was 5, 4 and 4, respectively. Fermentation was carried out in vitro using rumen fluid and artificial saliva solution in 120 ml fermenters. The hypothesis was that muramidases can increase the production of rumen fermentation products. In conclusion, the data demonstrate that muramidases i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi 189 of the families of glycoside hydrolases (GH) GH24, GH25 and the novel MUR polypeptides that have muramidase activity can affect rumen dry matter digestibility and rumen fermentation by increasing production of propionate, total volatile fatty acids and carbon total in volatile fatty acids.

Rumen fluid was pumped directly from the rumen into a preheated flask, immediately closed, and transported to the Alimetrics laboratory. Rumen fluid was used for inoculation within 2 hours of collection. To guarantee the presence of ruminal microbes associated with both liquids and particles in the inoculum, both fractions were obtained. The liquid and solid fractions were strained through a metal mesh (3 x 3 mm mesh size) under anaerobic conditions prior to buffer dilution. After inoculation with rumen fluid, buffer and test solution, the containers were sealed with butyl rubber septa. All fermentation vessels were inoculated in random order to prevent possible blocking effects. The inoculation time for each fermentation vessel was recorded and accounted for on each sample to ensure that the fermentation was the same for each sample. The fermentation was continued for 12h on a rotary shaker at +38°C. Produced fermentation gas was measured and relieved by collecting nnann / nznz / E / YiAi 191 the fermentation gas in syringes at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock. Feed residues were measured after 12h of fermentation. The trial design was a completely randomized dose-response design with 28 treatments using 150 fermentation vessels according to Table 3. The 13 muramidase solutions were diluted to the required concentration in enzyme buffer (BSA, Tween 20, acetate buffer, calcium, NaOH, adjusted to pH 6). The negative control was supplemented with the same buffer that was used to dilute the enzymes to the same volume of liquid as the supplemented fermentation vessels. The ionophore monensin (monensin sodium salt, 90-95% TLC (Sigma Aldrich; Product Code: M5273-1G)) was selected as a positive control because it is a ruminant feed additive that affects fatty acid production. volatile (VEA). i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi Table 3: treatments, doses and study design Dose N / dose SEC.

Apajalahti (2015) : Natural resin acid-enriched composition as a modulator of intestinal microbiota and performance enhancer in broiler chicken. J. App. Anim. Nutr., Vol. 3; e2; page 1 of 9) . Dry matter digestibility was quantified by determining dry matter in the original feed matrix and in all fermentation vessels after 12h of fermentation. Feed residues from the fermentation vessels were obtained by filtration on tared sintered glass filters, washed with water and dried at 105°C for 12 hours. Finally, the glass filters are weighed to determine the dry matter of the residual feed. calculations and statistics Dry matter digestibility (DMd) was calculated as the ratio between feed residues after the end of fermentation and the initial dry matter. The sum of the VFAs was calculated as the sum of acetate, propionate, butyrate, and valerate, and the summed carbon in the VFAs was calculated by assigning the respective number of carbon atoms in the acetate, propionate, butyrate, and valerate, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. The data was calculated as the 194 relative improvement compared to the NC for the digestibility of the DM and the concentration of acetate, propionate, butyrate, added VFA and total carbon in the VFA. The data was divided into two data sets. Data set one included data from the NC treatment and all muramidase 0.20 mg / 40 mL and PC 0.01 mg / 40 mL treatments, for analysis using the mixed SAS procedure (Institute SAS) and treatment as the main effect. Data set two included data from treatments A, B, and C for all 5 doses, to analyze linear and quadratic effects using the algorithm for linear regression included in the SAS Mixed Procedure (SAS Institute). Data presented are linear regression estimates and standard error, as well as least-squares means and standard error, unless otherwise stated. Results: Data from the present study demonstrate that muramidases can affect rumen dDM and VFA production in vitro, Table 4 and Figures 8-10. The difference in DMd between the non-supplemented NC and muramidase treatments were positive for 10 of 13 muramidases, when tested at the same dose (0.2 mg / 40 ml). The maximum improvement in DMd is 8.6%, Figure 8. The increasing response in DMd was evenly distributed across the 3 195 glycoside hydrolase (GH) families (GH24, GH25, and novel MUR polypeptides having muramidase activity defined herein, with 5 / 5, 2 / 4, and 3 / 4, respectively. The data also show a clear effect of muramidase supplementation on propionate production Propionate production was increased compared to NC for 9 of 13 muramidases when tested at the same dose (0.2 mg / 40 mL) The increase in propionate production was up to 14.4%, Figure 9. The increased response in propionate production was divided into the families of glycoside hydrolase (GH) GH24, GH25, and novel MUR polypeptides that have muramidase activity, in that order (5 / 5, 3 / 4 and 1 / 4, respectively) Muramidase treatments reduced butyrate production compared to control for 9 of 13 muramidases, when tested at the same dose (0.2 mg / 40 mL). was up to 49.3%, Figure 10. The decreased response in butyrate production was divided into the families of glycoside hydrolase (GH) GH24, GH25 and the new MUR polypeptides that have muramidase activity (4 / 5, 2 / 4 and 3 / 4, respectively) . The effect of supplementing 0.2 mg muramidase / 40 ml increased overall VEA production and total carbon in VEAs for 8 of 13 treatments, when compared to control, Table 4. Increased 196 Total VFAs and total carbon in VFAs were divided into the glycoside hydrolase (GH) families GH24, GH25, and the novel MUR polypeptides that have muramidase activity, in that order (4 / 5, 2 / 4, and 2 / 4, respectively). For the three muramidases A, B and C, a regression analysis was carried out. Regression analysis showed that propionate production increased with increasing muramidase dose and butyrate production decreased with increasing muramidase dose, also seen in Figures 9 and 10, respectively.

Example 4 - Effect of 22 muramidases on rumen fermentation and digestibility of dry matter of feed in vitro Summary: A fermentation study was carried out using muramidases from the GH24, GH25 families of glycoside hydrolases (GH) and novel MUR polypeptides having muramidase activity; the number of enzymes evaluated was 9, 8 and 7, 198 respectively. Fermentation was carried out in vitro using rumen fluid and artificial saliva solution in 120 ml fermentors. The hypothesis was that muramidases can increase the production of rumen fermentation products. In conclusion, rumen fermentation was improved by supplementing with muramidases from the three families of glycoside hydrolase (GH) GH24, GH25 and novel MUR polypeptides having muramidase activity. The improvement was observed as increased production of total volatile fatty acids, acetate and propionate. Materials and methods: The assay was carried out by Alimetrics (Alimetrics Ltd, Koskelontie 19B, FIN-02920 Espoo, Finland) using 120 ml serum bottles as fermentation vessels. The preparation and the fermentation procedure are presented in Kettunen et al., (Kettunen H., J. Vuorenmaa, D. Gaffney and J. Apajalahti (2016): Yeast hydrolysate product enhances rumen fermentation in vitro. J. App. Anim. Nutr., Vol. 4; the; page 1 of 7). In summary, the method is as follows: All the bottles were initially filled with Ig of DM of feed made up of corn silage, barley meal, soybean meal, in amounts of 0.5, 0.4 and 0.1 g of DM. , respectively. Subsequently, the bottles were purged with CO2 passed through an nnann / nznz / E / YiAi 199 hot copper catalyst for O2 scrubbing and sealed with a thick butyl rubber plug. Reduced, temperature-adjusted (+38°C) anaerobic artificial saliva buffer solution (modified from Agriculture Handbook No. 379, (USDA, Washington, D.C., 1975), volume 37.65 ml), freshly strained ruminal fluid ( 5% inoculum; 2 ml volume) and test compounds (0.35 ml volume) into the fermentation vessels with a flow of oxygen-free CO2. Next, rumen fluid was collected from a rumenally cannulated cow. Rumen fluid was pumped directly from the rumen into a preheated flask, immediately closed, and transported to the Alimetrics laboratory. Rumen fluid was used for inoculation within 2 hours of collection. To guarantee the presence of ruminal microbes associated with both liquids and particles in the inoculum, both fractions were obtained. The liquid and solid fractions were strained through a metal mesh (3 x 3 mm mesh size) under anaerobic conditions prior to buffer dilution. After inoculation with rumen fluid, buffer and test solution, the containers were sealed with butyl rubber septa. All fermentation vessels were inoculated in random order to prevent possible blocking effects. was recorded on 200 inoculation time for each fermentation vessel and was taken into account in each sample to ensure that the fermentation was the same for each sample. The fermentation was continued for 12h on a rotary shaker at +38°C. The fermentation gas produced was measured and relieved by collecting the fermentation gas in syringes at 3, 6, 9 and 12h. Feed residues were measured after 12h of fermentation. The trial design was a completely randomized dose-response design with 27 treatments using 145 fermentation vessels according to Table 5. The 24 muramidase solutions were diluted to the required concentration in enzyme buffer (BSA, Tween 20, acetate buffer, calcium, NaOH, adjusted to pH 6). The negative control was supplemented with the same buffer that was used to dilute the enzymes to the same volume of liquid as the supplemented fermentation vessels. The ionophore monensin (monensin sodium salt, 90-95% TLC (Sigma Aldrich; Product Code: M5273-1G)) was selected as a positive control because it is a ruminant feed additive that affects fatty acid production. volatile (VEA). i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi Table 5: Treatments, doses and study design i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi Dose N / dose SEC.

J. App. Anim. Nutr., Vol. 3; e2; page 1 of 9) . Dry matter digestibility was quantified by determining dry matter in the original feed matrix and in all fermentation vessels after 12h of fermentation. The feed residues of the 203 fermentation vessels were obtained by filtration on tared sintered glass filters, washed with water and dried at 105°C for 12 hours. Finally, the glass filters are weighed to determine the dry matter of the residual feed. calculations and statistics Dry matter digestibility (DMd) was calculated as the ratio between feed residues after the end of fermentation and the initial dry matter. The sum of the VFAs was calculated as the sum of acetate, propionate, butyrate, and valerate, and the summed carbon in the VFAs was calculated by assigning the respective number of carbon atoms in the acetate, propionate, butyrate, 2, 3, 4, and 5. , respectively. Data were calculated as the relative improvement compared to NC for DMd and the concentration of acetate, propionate, summed VFA and total carbon in VFA. One treatment was removed from the data set, because the amount of enzyme used was not known. Therefore, the data from this treatment cannot be compared with the other treatments in the present study. Data were analyzed using the mixed SAS procedure (SAS institute) including the main effect of treatment. Data presented are means of minima i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi 204 squares and the standard error, unless otherwise stated. Results: The data demonstrate that ruminal fermentation was improved by muramidase supplementation in vitro. This was demonstrated from the increase in total rumen VFAs and total carbon in VFAs for 23 of 24 muramidase treatments, Table 6. The positive response was evenly split across the three families of glycoside hydrolase (GH) enzymes (GH24 , GH25 and novel MUR polypeptides having muramidase activity). The total VFAs increased up to 12,211.99% and the total carbon in the VFAs increased up to 12,512.02%, figures 13 and 14, respectively. The total increase in VFA and total carbon in VFA arose from an increase in rumen acetate and propionate, Table 6. Acetate fermentation increased up to 10,711.99% and propionate fermentation increased up to 14,212.21 %, figures 13 and 14, respectively. i nnann / nznz / E / YiAi 205 Table 6: Effect of 24 muramidases on dry matter digestibility (DMd) and production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) (mmol / 1) after 12 h of in vibro rumen fermentation Item DMd Acetate Propionate Butyrate Total VFAs Carbon in VFAs NC 0.58 48.4 39.5 7.1 96 246 PC 0.51 44.2 42.8 3.7 91 234 A 0.56 52.9 45.1 6.7 105 271 B 0.60 49.1 40. 4 7.2 97 251 C 0.58 52.0 44.3 7.2 104 269 D 0.57 50.1 43.0 5.9 99 255 E 0.57 49.9 42.3 6.2 99 254 F 0.58 51.6 42.5 7.2 102 263 G 0.56 49.7 41.1 7.3 99 255 H 0.59 52.6 44.7 5.3 103 264 1 0.56 49.3 42.9 5.4 98 252 J 0.56 47.6 39.1 6.9 94 243 K 0.57 49.5 40.9 7.2 98 254 L 0.56 50.7 42.0 7.3 101 259 M 0.60 50.7 42.0 7.3 101 259 N 0.59 49.3 40.8 7.2 98 253 0 0.59 51.1 42.0 7.3 101 260 S 0 .58 49.4 41.2 7.1 98 254 T 0.57 53.6 45.1 7.8 107 277 U 0.60 49.1 40.5 7.1 97 251 V 0.59 49.2 40.6 7.1 97 252 W 0.59 48.9 40.9 6.7 97 250 Y 0.57 50.8 43.1 6.1 100 258 Z 0.56 48.7 39.6 6.9 96 247 SEM 0.02 0 .96 0.87 0.29 1.90 4.96 206 Conclusion: In conclusion, rumen fermentation was improved by supplementing with muramidases from the three families of glycoside hydrolase (GH) GH24, GH25 and novel MUR polypeptides having muramidase activity.
