Potential strategies for controlling necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens in post-antibiotic era (2006, background): “The utilization of diets containing high levels of xylans and -glucans from wheat and barley, respectively, can be significantly improved through supplementation of xylanase and -glucanase enzymes (Bedford and Classen, 1992; Mathlouthi et al., 2002, 2003; Jackson et al., 1999; Wu and Ravindran, 2004”
Feed enzymes: The science, practice, and metabolic realities (2013, unknown): “inclusion and xylanase supplementation [45]”
Feed particle size: Implications on the digestion and performance of poultry (2007, background): “It should also be mentioned, however, that overall retention time does not increase when birds are fed whole grains (Svihus et al., 2002; Svihus et al., 2004a; Wu and Ravindran, 2004).”
Influence of method of whole-wheat feeding on the performance, digestive tract development and carcass traits of broiler chickens (2008, background): “However, other studies have found improvements in feed efficiency when WW replaced part of the ground grain (Plavnik et al., 2002; Wu and Ravindran, 2004; Wu et al., 2004; Ravindran et al., 2006).”
