• Effects of increasing levels of pea hulls in the diet on productive performance, development of the gastrointestinal tract, and nutrient retention of broilers from one to eighteen days of age (2011, background): “…the hypothesis that an increase in the pectins content of the chyme, as a consequence of increasing dietary PH, generates a physical dilation of the GIT with a concomitant increase in size of the digestive organs that in turn, favours gutfill (Jørgensen et al., 1996b; Jiménez-Moreno et al., 2009a).”
• Poultry response to high levels of dietary fiber sources varying in physical and chemical characteristics (2012, result): “this suggestion is consistent with the reduced benefits observed on GIt development and gizzard pH when microcrystalline cellulose was added to the diet as a source of fiber [9, 42].”
