Extract

Today the use of enzymes is common in practical poultry nutrition. Enzyme supplementation usually result in numerous beneficial effects, such as increased utilization of nutrients (e.g. fat & protein), improved AME values, increased growth rate, improved feed conversion ratio, decreased viscosity of intestinal digesta, reduced incidence of sticky excreta and improved litter conditions (Broz and Ward., 2007). The use of multi enzymes to improve the digestibility of corn-soybean meal-wheat diets for broilers is less well documented than wheat and barely diets. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of a multi-enzyme supplementation on the performance of broiler chicks fed on corn-soybean meal-wheat diets.
