The effects of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes on the in vitro release of xylooligosaccharides and monosaccharides varies across six varieties of wheat (2022)
Journal Article

Wheat is a widely used cereal grain for pig and poultry feeds globally. Despite this, there are noticeable differences in its nutritive value, potentially due to varying characteristics like inherent non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) content and compos...
