1)

Natuzyme Plus was a powder form of cellulase (6,000,000 U/kg), xylanase (10,000,000 U/kg), β-glucanase (700,000 U/kg), α-amylase (700,000 U/kg), pectinase (70,000 U/kg), phytase (500,000 U/kg), proteases (acid and neutral; 3,000,000 U/kg) and lipase (30,000 U/kg) and used 500 mg/kg of the diet.
