Exogenous enzymes and irradiation of barley reduce the anti-nutritional activity of non-starch polysaccharides in broilers

Interactions between non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) level, dietary lipid type, exogenous carbohydrase enzymes and irradiation were investigated. Ten treatment diets were fed to broilers in a performance and digestibility trial. Eight of the diets contained high levels of NSP, achieved by a high bar...
