A biological trial of 28 d was conducted to evaluate the influence of tanmase and dried Aspergillus oryzae culture at 0.2% on performance of broilers fed tannin rich diets using 405, d old broiler chicks. Salseed meal was added in their diet to meet the tannin levels of 0.25,1.5 and 2.0%. Body weight, feed consumption and feed efficiency was significantly (P<0.01) affected by feeding tannins. Supplementation of tannase and Aspergillus oryzae cultrue did not improve the broiler performance.
