Ileal nitrogen contents (as g/kg titanium marker) and endogenous nitrogen flow (as ?g/g dry matter intake) were numerically increased with the addition of non-starch polysaccharides, but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The results indicate that the type and level of soluble non-starch polysaccharides may influence the extent of ileal flow of nitrogen in chickens. ER -
