Xylanase supplementation of pelleted wheat-based diets increases growth efficiency and apparent metabolizable energy and decreases viscosity of intestinal contents in broilers.

The high replication used in our study design (n = 20 cages of 6 birds per treatment) instills confidence that the highly significant relationships between these outcomes are real, though we acknowledge that said correlations explain no more than 17% of the total variation observed when relating FCR and digesta viscosity.
