Effects of supplemental xylanase and xylooligosaccharides on production performance and gut health variables of broiler chickens

Abstract

It can be concluded that XOS can enhance cecal fermentation, while xylanase can increase the body weight gain along with the fermentation metabolites in the ceca of broilers fed the corn-SBM-based diet but the effects may not always translate into an improved mucosal absorptive capacity and a better feed efficiency.
