Abstract: As a sort of functional oligosaccharide,xylo-oligosaccharide is originated from plant and produced by biochemical methods. It has been used as a sort of green feed additive to proliferate intestinal probiotics. In the article,its concepts,characteristics,functions,production and applications in animal nutrition were reviewed,and the existing problems on its development and research also were analyzed. Based on the above mentioned facts,we predicted its prospects of application in the future.
