Trial Results Confirm Potential Benefits in Broilers Growth from Xylanase use alongside Phytase Superdosing
Published:September 1, 2014
Summary
Trial results from a University of Berlin study have confirmed the benefits of combining phytase superdosing with a high-efficacy single-enzyme xylanase. Compared to phytase superdosing alone, the inclusion of the xylanase produced a significant additional 4% improvement in broiler bodyweight gain (BWG) over a 35 day period. The trial compared performance of a superdosing-optimise...
I go with the results because wheat contain significant levels of pentosans which increase gut viscosity especially if it is fresh grain and added to young chicks. the enzyme xylanase added is appropriate for wheat-soy based diet.
This may not be appropriate for corn-soy diet because Indian corn and soya known to contain very low levels of phytates and arbino-xylans (pentosans). corn-soy diet is the most common ration for broilers across Asian countries.
