Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of xylanase alone or combination of xylanase and β-glucanase in high non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) diets with low energy on growth performance, meat quality, intestinal measurements, stress responses, and energy and nutrient utilization in broiler chickens.Methods: A total of four hundred 8-d-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were randomly allotted to 1 of 4 treatment groups with 10 replicates. A positive control (PC) diet was formulated with adequate energy and nutrients, whereas a negative control (NC) diet had 100 kcal/kg less nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy than the PC diet with increasing inclusion of high NSP ingredients. Two additional diets were produced by supplementing 0.1% xylanase alone or 0.1% xylanase and β-glucanase mixture in the NC diet. Experiments lasted for 27 d.Results: Birds fed PC diets had less (p<0.05) feed conversion ratio (FCR) than those fed NC diets. Birds fed NC diets supplemented with xylanase alone or combination of xylanase and β-glucanase had less (p<0.05) FCR than those fed NC diets. Dietary supplementation of xylanase alone in NC diets exhibited the highest (p<0.05) breast meat pH among dietary treatments. Birds fed PC diets or NC diets supplemented with xylanase and β-glucanase combination exhibited greater (p<0.05) villus height:crypt depth ratio than those fed NC diets. Dietary supplementation of xylanase alone and combination of xylanase and β-glucanase in NC diets decreased (p<0.05) ileal digesta viscosity and increased (p<0.05) xylo-oligosaccharide concentrations in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) compared with NC diets without affecting energy and nutrient utilization in NC diets.Conclusion: Dietary supplementation of xylanase in high NSP diets with low energy concentrations improves growth performance by decreasing digesta viscosity and increasing concentrations of xylo-oligosaccharides in the GIT of broiler chickens. However, little additional benefits of β-glucanase supplementation in combination with xylanase are identified for broiler chickens.
