A. Beauchemin, L. M. Rode, and V. Sewalt   Abstract:  The patent describes the use of fibrolytic enzyme supplements for increasing the digestibility of legume forages and grain feeds for ruminants. The enzyme supplements assist in the colonization of feed particles in the rumen by ruminal microbes. The fibrolytic enzyme supplements consist of mixtures of cellulases and xylanases in certain preferred ratios and levels, which are dependent on the feed material to be treated. When cellulases and xylanases are applied to legume forages and grain feeds in certain ratios, levels and in accordance with the methods of the present invention, synergistic effects between the enzymes occur, providing large improvements in digestibility of feed materials at low enzyme levels.   2.  Patent Applied for (Filed April, 2004) entitled “Use of Proteolytic Enzymes to Increase Feed Utilization in Ruminant Diets”  K. A. Beauchemin and D. Colombatto   Abstract:   The invention broadly provides a method of increasing fiber digestion in ruminants by providing a feed additive or feed composition comprising proteases as the major component.  Specifically, the invention provides a feed additive comprising proteases for feeding a ruminant animal or adding to a forage or a grain feed for the animal.                               PUBLICATION LIST     Books and Book Chapters   1991 1.          Beauchemin, K.
