(a) at least one acid-stable protease; and (b) at least one fat-soluble vitamin, and/or (c) at least one water-soluble vitamin, and/or (d) at least one trace mineral, and/or (e) at least one macro mineral; wherein the protease has an identity of at least 70% to 18(i),SEQ ID NO: 1and/or(ii).SEQ ID NO: 2
- 7. The animal feed additive of claim 6, wherein the amount of the protease corresponds to an intended addition of 0.01-200 mg protease protein per kg feed.
- 8. The animal feed additive of claim 6 or 7, which further comprises phytase, xylanase, galactanase, and/or beta-glucanase.
- 9. An animal feed composition having a crude protein content of 50-800 g/kg and comprising at least one acid-stable protease, wherein the protease has an identity of at least 70% to
- 10. The animal feed composition of claim 9, wherein the amount of the protease is 0.01-200 mg protease protein per kg feed.
- 11. A method for the treatment of vegetable proteins, comprising the step of adding at least one acid-stable protease to at least one vegetable protein or protein source, wherein the protease has an identity of at least 70% to
- 12. The method of claim 11, wherein soybean is included amongst the at least one vegetable protein source.
- 13. A method for improving the nutritional value of an animal feed, comprising adding to the animal feed at least one acid-stable protease which has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 70% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the dosage of the protease is 0.01-200 mg protease enzyme protein per kg animal feed.
- 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 75% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 80% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 85% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 90% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 95% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 20. A method for improving the nutritional value of a vegetable protein, comprising adding at least one acid-stable protease to the vegetable protein or protein source, wherein the protease comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the vegetable protein source comprises soybean.
- 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 75% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 23. The method of claim 22, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 80% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 24. The method of claim 23, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 85% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 25. The method of claim 24, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 90% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
- 26. The method of claim 25, wherein the protease has an amino acid sequence having an identity of at least 95% to SEQ ID NO: 1.
