go.ncsu.edu/readext?778599
New research in the journal Poultry Science examines the impact of xylanase, amino acid density and fat levels on broiler chickens.
The research team, including corresponding author Dr. Edgar Oviedo-Rondón, formulated diets and examined the impacts on broiler performance, energy utililization, digestibility and carcass traits.
from the abstract
This experiment evaluated the interactive effects among xylanase (XL; 0, 8,000, 16,000, and 32,000 BXU/kg), amino acid density (AA; high and low 10% difference), and additional fat (AF; 0 or +1.17%) applied postpellet in corn-soybean meal diets with dried distillers grains with solubles on performance, energy utilization, digestibility, and carcass traits in Ross 708 male broilers.
The research is available open access online – read Effects of graded levels of exogenous xylanase in corn-soy diets with two amino acid density and fat levels postpellet in broiler chickens: live performance, energy utilization, digestibility, and carcass characteristics.
