Abstract: Two experiments were conducted to observe the effects of different types of soluble and insoluble non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) on digesta viscosity and gastrointestinal weight of laying hens. In experiment 1, four diets were offered, viz, wheat-based (wheat), millrun-based (millrun), barley-based (barley), and barley diet with added enzyme (barley + enzyme). Gut viscosity was high (P<0.05) caecal weight. Addition of enzyme to the barley diet reduced (P<0.05) FI and gizzard weight. Soluble NSP and physical structure of oats seemed to be responsible for the increase in FI and gizzard weight.
