Anti-nutritional effects of for example soluble NSPs in soybean are
hypothesized to involve binding or trapping and subsequent excretion
of particularly bile salts, leading to reduced nutrient absorption
in NSP rich diets (Gatlin et al., 2007). The effects may be combined
with possible gradual pathological changes in the intestinal microbiota
or mucosal morphology (Drew et al., 2007) leading to a lower
nutrient uptake. Intestinal enteritis has been observed in Atlantic
salmon (Salmo salar) exposed for a few weeks to a diet with 10% soybean
meal (Bæverfjord and Krogdahl, 1996), and anti-nutrients in
