Barley β-glucan in poultry diets.
2014
There has been an increased interest in the use of immunomodulators as substitutes for antibiotics in food animal production.

Barley β-glucans, however, have not shown this potential due to the adverse effects dietary inclusion of barley has on poultry performance.
