OligoPKC is a prebiotic from Palm kernel cake (PKC). Palm kernel cake (PKC) is a<br />
main byproduct from the palm oil industry.<br />
• The cell wall components of PKC consists of 580 g/kg mannan<br />
• Mannan-oligosaccharides are the main oligosaccharides in OligoPKC<br />
which are good sources of prebiotic<br />
• 17% of OligoPKC (Mannan-oligosaccharides) can be extracted from row<br />
PKC using current extraction method<br />
• Increased population of Lac<strong>to</strong>bacillus and bifidobacteria<br />
• reduced population of Enterobacteriaceae and E-coli in the intestine of<br />
broiler chickens<br />
• increase the immunoglobulin level of serum<br />
• Local poultry farmers<br />
• Animal feed manufacturers
