1. Xylanases ability to improve digestibility of plant-based feed ingredients and to reduce digesta viscosity is well-accepted.
2. xylanases appear to be partially related to their indirect impact on mucosal morphology of the small intestine of birds.
3. In the intestine, undigested NSPs, including arabinoxylans, stimulate the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria
4. Xylanase reduces nutrient availability for cecal pathogens
5. Xylanase not only reduces digesta viscosity through the hydrolysis of soluble arabinoxylans in the small intestine;
6. This process can also improve gut health by generating xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), which are fermented, particularly in the foregut.
7. These have a prebiotic effect that selectively stimulates the growth of beneficial gram-positive bacteria in the foregut
8. Xylanase reduces oxidative stress in the gut.
9. Xylanase reduces mucin secretion. Mucin is an excellent nutrient source for some pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and Clostridium perfringens.👌
10. XylaOpt of ABTL is a Themostable Xylanase enzyme feed additive which minimizes gut viscocity and reduce wet litter.👍
11. XylaOpt enhances significantly laying performance of Layers , Breeders and Broilers.👏
and The recommended inclusion levels of XylaOpt is 100 gms to 150 gms / ton of feed .
