Abstract:

In this study, exotic compound enzyme preparation was applied for the first time to migrating protective Giant Pandas and the digestion trial was conducted. The result indicated that adding 0.15% or 0.30% nutritional or cellulose compound enzyme preparation could apparently increase the digestibility of the nutritional matter in the diet of Giant Pandas. The digestibility of protein and amino acids, adding 0.30% nutritional compound enzyme preparation, was superior to that of 0.15%, and the things reversed to the digestion rate of crude fat. The digestion rate of cellulose, hemi-cellulose, NDF(neutral detergent fiber) and ADF(acid detergent fiber) of the diet could be increased not only remarkably by adding cellulose compound enzyme but consequently with adding level from 0.15% to 0.30%. The results were beneficial to the practice of captive breeding for the migrating protecting Giant Pandas.
