A complete
randomized design experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary
-glucans source and an enzyme composite containing -glucanase and -xylanase on
energy and nutrient digestibility, distal gastrointestinal tract (dGIT) fermentation, manure
odour and ammonia emissions from finishing boars. Twenty-eight boars (74.2 kg SD 3.6)
were assigned to one of four dietary treatments (n = 7); (1) a barley-based diet (B), (2)
a barley-based diet + enzyme composite (BE), (3) a wheat-based diet + purified -glucans
(WG) and (4) a wheat-based diet + purified -glucans + enzyme composite (WGE).
