The influence of various starch and non-starch polysaccharides on the digestibility of diets fed to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Dietary supplementation of exogenous carbohydrase enzymes in fish nutrition: A review

“…been shown to improve protein and energy digestibility of numerous plant protein feedstuffs, the digestibility of many ingredients remains low because of a lack of the enzymes needed for breaking down the complex cell wall structure that encapsulates other nutrients (Glencross et al, 2012;NRC, 2011).…”

A study of the discrete and interactive effects of different polysaccharides on the digestibility of diets fed to barramundi (Lates calcarifer)

“…The NSP content of many plant materials is recognized as a key factor which has been shown to affect the nutritional variability among these materials being fed to fish (Glencross et al . , ,b).…”

“…Although the non‐nutritive value of many NSPs is well understood, what is less understood is the antinutritional and or interactive effects of the more complex NSPs, which lead to a reduction in digestibility that exceeds their level of inclusion (Glencross et al . , ). An example of this is seen with the presence of lignin in diets of rainbow trout either via inclusion of some plant proteins or as a specific additive (Glencross et al .…”

“…An example of this is seen with the presence of lignin in diets of rainbow trout either via inclusion of some plant proteins or as a specific additive (Glencross et al . , ). With the common practice of blending different plant proteins and carbohydrates, it is therefore becoming increasingly important to consider not only the discrete effects but also the interaction of NSPs.…”

“…There have been various reports on the discrete effects of different NSP classes in fish diets (Glencross et al . , ; Leenhouwers et al . , ; Amirkolaie et al .…”
