Effect of arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides and arabinoxylans on net energy and nutrient utilization in broilers

Published: September 17, 2019
Summary
1. Introduction Xylans, also known as arabinoxylans (AX) and pentosans, are the most abundant hemicelluloses in the cell walls of monocotyledonous plants, such as cereals. The presence of these polysaccharides has a direct negative impact on energy availability of monogastric diets (Choct and Annison, 1990), largely due to the direct effect of soluble AX on increasing digesta viscosity. The...

I congratulate the research team for the study carried out. The results appear to be consistent with those available in the literature. An observation that I believe is important to highlight is that, based on these results, it can be deduced that the use of the enzyme favors animals in the soil by means of the fibrous source hydrolysis as well as positively influencing the microbiota, as if ha demonstrated. I approve of this opportunity to make this observation, since in other opportunities we consider this consideration, which would be necessary to evaluate the microbiota of animals, both birds and bristles, in order to effectively evaluate the positive effects of the enzyme on the yield of them animals. This is why the scientific community knows that improving the microbiota interfered favorably in the development of the animals.
