The Effect of Digesta Viscosity on Transit Times and Gut Motility in Broiler Chickens
Published: April 13, 2012
Summary
The hypothesis that an increase in luminal viscosity would result in reductions in performance parameters, digesta passage rate and frequency of reverse peristalsis was tested. Chickens were fed diets containing varying quantities of guar gum, alginic acid or corn starch to influence digesta viscosity. The two guar gum treatments yielded the highest intestinal viscosities mirrored by very hi...
