ABSTRACT

A feeding trial was conducted to study the effect of enzyme supplementation on nutrient
digestibility and metabolizability of broilers (0-6wks). In the trial in broilers fed diets supplemented
with enzyme at 0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 g/ton of feed with a proportionate reduction .in
metabolizable energy (ME-1.25, 2.5, 3.75 and 5%), crude protein (CP-0.75, 1.5, 2.25 and 3%),.
Methionine+cytine (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%) and available phosphorus (2.2, 4.4, 6.6 and 8.8 %), the
dry matter (OM) digestibility and protein metabolizability were increased significantly (P
