The feed additionally contains \- 1 hydrolytic enzyme selected from (h) proteolytic enzymes (including those with trypsin-like and peptidase-like activities); (i) carbohydrate-splitting enzymes (including those with amylase-like and cellulase-like activities); lipolytic enzymes (including those with triacylglycerolase-like activities), peroxidase enzymes (including those with catalase-like activity) and transferase enzymes (including those with acyltransferase-like activities). (I) also includes \- 1 (preferably all) of lactic, acetic and succinic acids or their equivalents.
