Commercial enzyme influence on broilers fed different levels of wheat

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of multi- enzyme supplement (Natuzyme ® ) in diets containing wheat on the broilers performance. A total of one hundred twenty day old male broiler chicks (Arbor Acres) were randomly assigned to 6 treatments with a 2 3 factorial arrangement (0, 150 and 300 gram per kilogram wheat and 0 and 0.025 gram per kilogram enzyme). Chickens were fed with starter, grower and finisher diets during 1-21, 22- 35, 36-49 days of the age, respectively. Body weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio were determined weekly and productivity efficiency index was determined at the end of experiment. Litter moisture was evaluated at the age 21 days. The results indicated that although different levels of multi-enzyme and wheat had no significant effect on body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, productivity efficiency index and litter moisture but caused partial improvement in these parameters.
