FOCUS ON CONSISTENCY AND DOSE TO UNLOCK FULL POTENTIAL FROM XYLANASE USE IN CORN-BASED DIETS

23 October 2014Consistency and dose hold the key to unlocking the full potential from xylanase use in corn-based diets, according to the latest findings from AB Vista. Both are much more important than previously realised, and are critical to achieving reliable improvements in nutrient digestibility when feeding non-viscous diets. “We now know that performance benefits from xylanase use in corn-based diets rely heavily on the production of specific prebiotic arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS),” explains Dr Usama Aftab, AB Vista’s Poultry Technical Manager. “Achieving the right mix of
