Abstract

The influence of dietary supplementation of enzymes on performance of commercial broilers (l-42d age) was studied in two experiments. In experiment 1, efficacy of 8 commercial enzymes and in experiment 2, two commercial enzymes and two formulated enzyme preparations were evaluated in broilers fed corn-soy diet. The performance was evaluated in terms of body weight gain, feed intake, feed/gain, livability and dressing yield. None of the enzyme preparations tested improved the performance of broilers.
