 ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted on broiler chicks to evaluate the effect of supplementing different levels of DDGS supplemented with multienzyme @ 25g/100kg of feed on their production performance, digestibility and carcass trait for a period of six weeks. 280 day old broilers chicks were procured and they were randomly distributed into seven dietary treatment groups i.e. T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T7 consisted of 14 replications with 20 birds per replicate. The experimental study involves record of various observations viz. feed intake, periodic growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR), energy and nitrogen retention, carcass traits under different dietary treatment. Basal control diet (T1) was formulated as per BIS (2007) specifications having maize and soybean meal as main ingredients, while in other dietary treatments T2, T3 and T4 were formulated with 15, 30 and 45% of soybean meal replaced with DDGS respectively, and in T5, T6 and T7 the multienzyme (25g/ 100kg of diet) was added along with replacement of soybean meal with DDGS @ of 15, 30 and 45% respectively. The performance of the broiler chicks was not significantly differed (P<0.05 ) due to addition of multienzyme however the results were similar to control diet in the groups fed 15% and 30% replacement of soybean meal with DDGS. The effect of supplementation of multienzyme has not been noticed on the digestibility and carcass characteristics of different treatment groups.
