the effect of feeding barley-based diets (%60) supplemented with four commercial enzymes containing xylanase and ?-glucanase activities were investigated on performance and gastrointestinal size of broiler chicks. the enzyme supplemented diets were compared with unsupplemented barley- or corn-based diets. a total of 234-day-old male broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated to 6 treatment groups...

in this research the effect of feeding wheat/ barley based diets supplemented with three commercial enzymes containing xylanase and ?-glucanase activities and including matrix value their on performance and gastrointestinal tract size of broiler chicks was investigated. a total of 260-day-old male broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated to 5 treatment groups, with 4 replicates per treatment an...

The effect of supplementing two commercial multienzyme to diets included two barley cultivars (Sararood [71.99%] and Valfajr [66.39%]) on performance, egg quality, and blood parameters of laying hens was investigated in an 8-wk (65 to 73 wk of age) experiment.  The commercial multienzymes were Grindazym™ (with mainly β-glucanase and xylanase activity) and Hemicell® (with mainly β-mannanase acti...

digestibility in broiler chickens fed on corn-soybean meal based diets. the experimental diets consisted of 1.corn-soybean meal based control diet 2. control diet supplemented with pectinas, 3. control diet supplemented with cellulase, 4. control diet supplemented with pectinase + cellulose, 5. control diet supplemented with pectinase + hemicellulase and 6. control diet supplemented with pectin...

Two 2 × 2 factorial experiments were conducted to investigate the interaction between xylanase (0 vs. 200 mg/kg) and protease (0 vs. 200 mg/kg) enzyme supplementation on growth performance (Exp. 1) and coefficient of ileal and total tract apparent digestibility in grower-finisher pigs (Exp. 2). One hundred and twenty-eight individual fed pigs (BW = 34.2 kg; n = 32) were assigned to 1 of 4 dieta...

non-starch polysaccharides (e.g.: wheat based diet) which are supplemented with enzymes. could have a high potential in nutrient ingestion, digestion and absorption, however, response to the enzyme is dependent on chicks age, as well as genetic status of both the cereal and the chick. this study was conducted in a completely randomized design in 2×4 factorial arrangement to study the efficiency...

A total of 384 day-old male Ross 308 broiler chicks were allocated to 8 dietary treatments to examine the influence of supplementation with xylanase and phytase, individually or in combination, in diets based on two new cultivars of triticale (Bogong and Canobolas). The inclusion of phytase alone in either Bogong or Canobolas diets increased (P < 0.01) feed intake and body weight; however, the ...

The microbial profiles and activities of microbes in the digesta from chickens on diets containing Bogong or Canobolas with or without inclusion of microbial enzymes were investigated on the 384 day-old male Ross 308 broiler chickens. There was a reduction in population of C. perfringens (P < 0.01) of the ileum as a result of interaction between cultivar and xylanase. On the other hand, in the ...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of diets with reduced energy level content, supplemented carbohydrase, on broiler performance and coefficient metabolizability nutrients. A total 720 one-day-old male Cobb-500 chicks were distributed in a completely randomized design, six treatments, eight repetitions 15 birds each. The treatments were: (1) positive control, basal diet meet req...

Nutrient utilisation and growth performance responses of White Pekin ducks (Anas platyrinchos domesticus) offered diets containing low- or high-viscosity wheat supplemented with xylanase were investigated in two studies. In Expt 1, six diets consisting of low-viscosity wheat or high-viscosity wheat supplemented with 0.0, 1.5 or 3.0 g xylanase (2590 units/g)/kg diet were used in a true metabolis...
