The effect of xylanase enzyme and fat type on growth performance of broilers fed wheat-based diets

Extract
Wheat grain is a major ingredient in broiler diets in many countries, and due to its high protein and starch content, it is considered to be a good source of nutrients for broilers. But wheat contains 5 to 8 percent non starch polysaccharides (NSP), pentosans, which may be impair nutrient digestibility and growth performance (Carre and Brillouet, 1986). Several studies have shown that, among the nutrients, fat digestion suffers the most pronounced impairment due to high digesta viscosity (Choct and Annison, 1992). It is suggested that to reduce adverse effects of anti nutritional factors content in wheat, diet supplements with enzyme. The effect of dietary supplementation of xylanse enzyme on growth performance is depended upon the amount and fat type (Langhout, et al. 1997). Different fat sources are usually added to broiler diets to increase energy concentration and to improve productivity. This study was carried out to determine effect of xylanase enzyme and fat type on growth performance and intestinal viscosity of broiler fed wheat based diet.
