Extract

Broilers are unable to utilize palm kernel cake (PKC) efficiently because it contains high amounts of non starch polysaccharides (NSPs) and broilers do not have the full complement of the endogenous enzymes required to break down the NSPs to soluble carbohydrates. Microbial enzymes have been reported (Bachtar, 2005) to be able to act on both the endo and exo sites of NSPs, breaking both the ß-1,4 and ß-1,6 linkages with the production of soluble carbohydrates. Multi enzyme complexes from fungi have the potential to breakdown the NSPs in PKC thereby enhancing its nutritive value for broiler feeding. It was the aim of this study to apply enzyme extracts from Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viride, Rhizopus stolonifer and Mucor mucedo on PKC and to investigate the effect of the biodegraded PKC on performance of broilers.
