TLDR
It was concluded from the present investigation that supplementation of xylanase to a maize– soybean based diet of broiler chickens may consistently increase serum peptide YY concentration and improve metabolic indices like serum insulin levels, however, the results indicated that with maize–soy bean based diet, such positive effects on metabolic indices may not translate into performance if the diet is compromised with energy by 230 kJ/kg or more.About:

Growth performance, nutrient utilization, and digesta characteristics in broiler chickens fed corn or wheat diets without or with supplemental xylanase
TL;DR: Xylanase improved growth performance and AMEn independent of diet type, suggesting hydrolysis of both soluble and insoluble NSP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicarbohydrase Enzymes for Non-ruminants.
TL;DR: The literature contains a wealth of information on various non starch polysaccharide degrading enzyme (NSPase) preparations and this review aims to conclude by discussing this body of work, with reference to the above mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of exogenous xylanase, amylase, and protease as single or combined activities on nutrient digestibility and growth performance of broilers fed corn/soy diets.
TL;DR: A synergistic effect between X, A and P on broiler performance and nutrient digestibility is suggested and the relative improvement in energy digestibility due to enzyme supplementation was greater at the ileal level than that measured in the excreta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of exogenous xylanase on performance, nutrient digestibility, volatile fatty acid production and digestive tract thermal profiles of broilers fed on wheat- or maize-based diet
TL;DR: It appears from this study that there is equal potential in both wheat and maize diets for xylanase to improve performance of broilers probably through different mechanisms.

Starch digestibility, energy utilization, and growth performance of broilers fed corn-soybean basal diets supplemented with enzymes
C. Stefanello,Sergio Luiz Vieira,G. O. Santiago,Liris Kindlein,José Otávio Berti Sorbara,Aaron J. Cowieson +5 more
TL;DR: Results from this experiment show that corn-soy diets having phytase and supplemented with amylase and xylanase led to increased growth performance, AMEn, and starch digestibility in broilers.

Carbohydrate and lignin contents of plant materials used in animal feeding
TL;DR: In this paper, a total, soluble and insoluble non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and lignin were analysed for low-molecular weight (LMW) sugars by high-performance liquid chromatography, starch, fructan and mixed linked β(1 → 3;1 → 4)-D-glucan by colorimetry, total, insoluble NSP by gas-liquid chromatography and Lignin by gravimetry.

Exogenous enzymes in monogastric nutrition - their current value and future benefits.
TL;DR: The overall effect of carbohydrase enzyme use is to reduce the variation between good and bad samples of a target ingredient substantially, which means that the nutrient requirements of the animal are met more frequently, and with diets of lower nutrient concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of enzyme supplementation of broiler diets based on corn and soybeans
TL;DR: No difference was seen between treatments, showing that the improvement of nutrient utilization brought about by enzyme supplementation completely compensated for the reduced energy content.

Effect of viscous indigestible polysaccharides on pancreatic-biliary secretion and digestive organs in rats
Sachie Ikegami,Fumie Tsuchihashi,Hironobu Harada,Noboru Tsuchihashi,Eiichi Nishide,Satoshi Innami +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that consumption of viscous indigestible polysaccharides leads to changes in the exocrine pancreatic-biliary function and may depress the process of digestion and absorption and rats may compensate for the inefficiency of digestibility and absorption with a hyperplasia/hypertrophy of digestive organs and an increased secretion of digestive juice.
