#02 - The impacts of enzymes and prebiotics on the performance and gut health of broilers - Dr. Amit Kumar Singh

When it comes to fibrous diets, exogenous enzymes (like xylanase) are crucial for improving nutrient utilization and enhancing broiler growth performance. Additionally, xylooligosaccharides are currently being studied as potential prebiotics that provide several beneficial effects, such as stimulating the immune system and promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in chickens. In today's episode, I talk to Dr. Amit Singh about his work providing broilers with different levels of this enzyme and prebiotic, its potential interaction, and the effects on the performance and microbiome diversity of broilers.
