Description
Summary:Objective of this study was to investigate the effect of multicarbohydrases supplementation on performance of broilers fed low energy diet. A total of 75 days old chicks were selected and randomly divided into three treatments groups (T , T , and T ); each group contained 25 chicks distributed in five replicates of five chicks each. T group (positive control) was offered control ration formulated as per Bureau of Indian Standards recommendations. In T group (negative control) ration, metabolizable energy (ME) was reduced by 100 kcal/kg diet. T group ration was same as that of T except that it was supplemented with multicarbohydrases (xylanase at 50 g/ton+mannanase at 50 g/ton+amylase at 40 g/ton). Feed intake and body weight of all experimental birds were recorded weekly. Metabolic trial was conducted for 3 days at the end of experiment to know the retention of nutrients. Significant improvement (p
