Starch is organized in concentric alternating semi-crystalline and amorphous layers in
granules of various sizes within the endosperm. The amount of amylose in starch normally …

The excretion of large amounts of P in effluent from intensive pig and poultry units is
indicative of the poor availability of phytate-bound P in plant-derived feed ingredients. This …

The use of exogenous feed enzymes in poultry diets is becoming a norm to overcome the
adverse effects of antinutritional factors and improve digestion of dietary components and …

The mechanism of the anti‐nutritive activity of isolated wheat pentosans was investigated by
examining the roles of digesta viscosity and gut microflora in broiler chickens. 2. Wheat …

Approximately two billion tonnes of cereal grains and 140 million tonnes of legumes and oil
seeds are produced throughout the world each year, which yield an estimated 230 million …

The non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) of cereals exhibit anti-nutritive activity when present
in broiler diets. The high levels of arabinoxylans (pentosans) in rye and β-glucans in barley …

Two pentosan-rich fractions (water-extractable, WEP, and alkali-extractable, AEP) were
isolated from a wheat milling by-product. When both WEP and AEP were added to a …

To assess their possible anti‐nutritive activity wheat pentosans were isolated from a milling
by‐product and added at graded levels to a sorghum‐based broiler chicken diet. 2. A water …

1. The effects of a xylanase on digesta viscosity and starch digestibility throughout the small
intestine and volatile fatty acid production in the ileum and caeca were investigated in …

Three experiments were conducted to study the effects of crude enzyme preparations on the
performance and gastrointestinal tract size of chicks fed wheat and barley diets. In the first …
