not required in ration of mature pigs

Crude protein formula

found in mammalian form of CHO storage (glycogen) and cellulose
alpha 1-4 bonds
found in amylose and lignin
alpha 1-6 bonds
found in lignin
peptide bonds
primary structure of proteins
beta glucans
significant presence in barley limits its inclusion in non ruminant ration
pectins
high concentrations found in feed byproducts such as citrus pulp
