Interactions of feed enzymes and antibiotic growth promoters on broiler performance

Adams C.A.

Addition of enzymes to broiler feed, particularly those containing high levels of wheat and fat, have given useful benefits even in the presence of antibiotic growth promoters. Enzyme supplementation frequently gives improved litter conditions and better overall growth performance. Some of these benefits come from improvement in fat digestibility which is frequently observed in feeds treated with enzymes. However the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract is unlikely to be modified by feed enzymes in a similar manner to that achieved with antibiotic growth promoters. Combinations of acidifiers and enzymes give very cost-effective broiler production in the absence of antibiotic growth promoters.
