ABSTRACT

A feeding cum digestibility experiment was conducted in cockerels without (T1) or with the addition of a commercial enzyme, T1+ 500 g/ton of feed (T2), with 5 (T3) and 10 % (T4) reduction in Metabolizable Energy (ME) and Crude Protein of the diet supplemented with enzyme @ 500 g/ton of feed. The digestibilities of dry matter, ether extract and fibre were significantly (Pe Energy value in cockerels fed with standard rations supplemented with enzyme mixture.
