Abstract
The cause of the sticky droppings and poor performance that can occur when barley is fed to poultry was investigated. The problems could be overcome by water-treatment of the barley or by addition of .beta.-glucanase. The problems appear to be caused by a viscous factor, which is hydrolyzed by .beta.-glucanase. Water-treatment allows hydrolysis by enzymes in the barley. Heat-treatment of barley denatures hydrolytic enzymes and prevents reduction in viscosity.Keywords
