  • Title: In vivo formation of arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides by dietary endo-xylanase alters arabinoxylan utilization in broilers.

    Journal: Carbohydr Polym; 2022 Sep 01; 291():119527. PubMed ID: 35698328.
    Abstract:
    Previously, arabinoxylan (AX) depolymerization by dietary endo-xylanase was observed in the broiler ileum, but released arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) were not characterized in detail. This study aimed at extracting and identifying AXOS released in vivo in broilers, in order to delineate the influence of endo-xylanase on AX utilization. Hereto, digesta from the gizzard, ileum, ceca and excreta of broilers fed a wheat-soybean diet without (Con) or with endo-xylanase supplementation (Enz) were assessed. Soluble AX content in the ileum was higher for Enz diet (26.9%) than for Con diet (18.8%), indicating a different type and amount of AX entering the ceca. Removal of maltodextrins and fructans enabled monitoring of AX depolymerization to AXOS (Enz diet) using HPSEC-RI and HPAEC-PAD. A recently developed HILIC-MSn methodology allowed AXOS (DP 4-10) identification in ileal digesta and excreta. Xylanase-induced AXOS formation coincided with decreased total tract AX recovery, which indicated improved AX hindgut utilization.
