crude fiber and NSP
What is the significance of fiber (crude fiber and NSP) in poultry diets, and how does fiber level influence ingredient selection for broilers vs. layers?

Fiber (CF and NSP) modulates gut function and nutrient utilization: excess soluble NSP reduces digestibility via increased viscosity, while insoluble fiber supports gizzard activity. Thus, broiler diets limit fiber to optimize FCR, whereas layers tolerate higher fiber for gut health and stability.

Fiber affects gut health and digestion,Boiler needs low fiber for growth,while layer can tolarate higher fiber for gut funtion and egg production
