Extract

Cereal grains provide the bulk of energy in practical diets for broiler production. In the world wide wheat appropriate the second place for itself ‘after maize’ among the other grains in poultry industry application. Triticale is a hybrid of wheat and rye and its nutritive value vary between it’s parents. It is established that the main antinutritional factor of these grains is soluble arabinoxylane that can inhibits digestion and absorption of nutrients in digestive tract and decrease the performance of broiler chickens (Bedford and Schulze, 1998). Soluble indigestible polysaccharides may also affect the water consumption in broilers (Van der Klis et al., 1993). Nowadays above mentioned problems are solved by supplementation of specific feed enzymes to the diets. Therefore the objective of this trial was to study the effect of wheat and triticale based diets on broiler performance and water consumption with and without enzyme supplementation.
