Four experiments were conducted to examine the effects of a microbial phytase (Natuphos), individually and in combination with glycanase preparations with predominantly xylanase (Natugrain Blend) and glucanase (Natugrain) activities, on the nutritive value of wheat and barley. In Experiment 1, the a...
