Title: | The use of enzymes in low-ME wheat broiler diets: effects on AME and gut viscosity | Contributor(s): | Choct, Mingan (author) ; Hughes, R J (author); Trimble, R P (author); Annison, G (author) | Publication Date: | 1994 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/17507 | Abstract: | The effect of a non-starch polysaccharide-degrading enzyme product (A vizyme, TX) on the performance of 4 week old broiler chickens fed wheats with high and low-AME values was studied. Supplementation with the enzyme increased the AME (MJ/kg dry matter) of a low-ME wheat from 12.02 to 14.94 and of a normal wheat from 14.52 to 14.83. This coincided with a significant fall in the digesta viscosity and marked increases in the apparent starch and protein digestibility in the small intestine. The performance of the birds fed the low-ME wheat with the enzyme was as good as those fed the maize control diet. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | APSS 1994: 6th Annual Australian Poultry Science Symposium | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Australian Poultry Science Symposium, v.6, p. 83-87 | Publisher: | University of Sydney | Place of Publication: | Sydney, Australia | ISSN: | 1034-6260 1034-3466 |
