To my knowledge, glycanases can increase the accessibility of phytase to its substrate, resulting in elevated utilisation of nutrients encapsulated by cell walls. In wheat or barley baesd diets, the addition of glycanases can reduce intestinal viscosity, and improve the absorption of nutrients liberated by phytase.

Alex, 
Could you please tell me the procedure for conversion of feed to energy units to substitute with enzymes? Phytase acts on innositol, glycanases on polysaccharides. Could you please explain the synergistic effect and benefits?
