Xylanase Supplementation Modulates the Microbiota of the Large Intestine of Pigs Fed Corn-Based Fiber by Means of a Stimbiotic Mechanism of Action

This research tested the hypothesis that xylanase modulates microbial communities within the large intestine of growing pigs fed corn-based fiber through a stimbiotic mechanism(s) of action (MOA). Sixty gilts were blocked by initial body weight, individually housed, and randomly assigned to one of f...
