Overview

Evaluates the impact of enzyme supplementation on growth performance and gut health in broiler chickens, suggesting viable dietary substitutes.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the influence of multicarbohydrases and proteases on broiler chicken growth and gut health when fed sunflower meal-based diets.
  • Formulated six iso-caloric, iso-nitrogenous diets for different growth phases.
  • Divided 540 Ross308 broilers into 6 dietary treatments with varying sunflower meal and enzyme inclusion.
  • Employed a 3 2 factorial design and analyzed data using ANOVA and Tukey-HSD.
  • Enzyme supplementation improved body weight gain and feed conversion ratio significantly at 10% sunflower meal.
  • Villus heights in the gut were positively influenced by enzyme and sunflower meal interactions.
  • Digesta viscosity was significantly reduced with enzyme addition.
  • Nutrient transport gene expressions (CLDN1, TJP1, MUC1, PEPT1) were positively regulated by enzyme supplementation.
