Endogenous enzyme activities and tibia bone development of broiler chickens fed wheat-based diets supplemented with xylanase, [beta]-glucanase and phytase

Objective: This study assessed the effect of different levels of xylanase, [beta]-glucanase and phytase on intestinal enzyme activities and tibia bone development in broiler chickens fed wheat-based diets. Methods: Twelve experimental diets were formulated using a 3x2x2 factorial design (three doses...

Description
Summary:Objective: This study assessed the effect of different levels of xylanase, [beta]-glucanase and phytase on intestinal enzyme activities and tibia bone development in broiler chickens fed wheat-based diets. Methods: Twelve experimental diets were formulated using a 3x2x2 factorial design (three doses of phytase and two doses of both xylanase and [beta]-glucanase) and offered to 648 dayold Ross 308 male chicks having 6 replicates groups with 9 birds per replicate and lasted for 35 days. Results: An interaction between the enzymes products improved (p
