Xylanase impact beyond performance: a prebiotic approach in broiler chickens

SUMMARY: Microbiome plasticity in chickens provides an attractive target for future potential therapeutic platforms. However, a better understanding of the chicken microbial ecology and how interventions such as xylanase addition can modulate this is needed. Interest in xylanase as an essential addi...
