The Poultry Information Network (PIN) is deemed necessary for easy access to information vital to the poultry industry. The PIN is a one-stop-shop of information about the poultry commodity, which is catered to clients of the Livestock Research Division. It also provides other stakeholders access to updated data and information relevant to the poultry industry.
A lot of information is currently available in the net however, its accessibility to many poultry stakeholders is limited. The PIN is developed to enhance accessibility of relevant information to poultry stakeholders thru the PCARRD Web.
The information, data and facts contained in the PIN is built in response to the needs of poultry stakeholders as indicated by the Philippine College of Poultry Practitioners (PCPP) in one of the consultation meetings previously conducted. |

Mannanase Treatment of Copra Meal
Mannanase is an enzyme used to convert copra meal into a more effective feed ingredient through solid state fermentation. It is produced using a bacterial soil isolate, Streptomyces sp. no. 17. The enzyme was found to hydrolize the copra meal fiber composed mostly of galactomannans which have low digestibility and often have a laxative effect in poultry and swine.
Mannanase treatment results in a copra meal with low fiber content, high energy value, increased digestibility, and improved nutritional quality by making proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids more available or metabolizable for the animals, thus, improving its feeding value.
