Abstract
This experiment investigated the dose-response effect of xylanase inclusion on growth performance, ileal digesta viscosity, and nutrient digestibility of broilers fed wheat-based mash diets from 1 to 42 d of age. A total of 1,500-day-old YPM × Ross 708 male broilers were randomly sorted in 50 floor pens and assigned to 5 treatments with 10 replicates per treatment. For each feeding phase, a positive control (PC) was formulated to meet the nutrient requirements of broilers, a negative control (NC) was formulated to contain 100 kcal/kg less AMEn than the PC, and 3 additional treatments were created by including xylanase to the NC at 1,200 (NC + 1,200), 2,400 (NC + 2,400) and 4,800 (NC + 4,800) U/kg. Feed intake, BW, and mortality corrected FCR were determined at 14, 28, and 42 d of age. Ileal digesta was collected from 7 birds per pen on d 28 to analyze nutrient digestibility and viscosity. In addition, the severity of footpad dermatitis and litter moisture were evaluated at 42 d of age. Data were analyzed as a randomized complete block design using the ANOVA procedure and means were separated by Tukey's HSD test, considering statistical significance at P ≤ 0.05. Broilers fed the NC + 4,800 U/kg diet exhibited a higher BW at 14 (P < 0.001) and 28 (P < 0.05) d of age in comparison to the NC. Similarly, improvements on FCR from 1 to 28 (P < 0.001) and 1 to 42 (P < 0.001) d of age were observed with a xylanase dose of 1,200 U/kg and higher, in comparison to the NC. In addition, broilers fed the NC supplemented with xylanase at all doses effectively reduced (P < 0.001) ileal digesta viscosity in comparison to the NC. Finally, xylanase supplementation at a dose of 2,400 U/kg to the NC increased CP (P < 0.01), and apparent ileal total amino acid digestibility (P < 0.001) compared to the NC. Overall, supplementation of mash wheat-based diets with incremental doses of xylanase improved broiler performance and nutrient digestibility while reducing ileal digesta viscosity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Poultry Research (JAPR) publishes original research reports, field reports, and reviews on breeding, hatching, health and disease, layer management, meat bird processing and products, meat bird management, microbiology, food safety, nutrition, environment, sanitation, welfare, and economics. As of January 2020, JAPR will become an Open Access journal with no subscription charges, meaning authors who publish here can make their research immediately, permanently, and freely accessible worldwide while retaining copyright to their work. Papers submitted for publication after October 1, 2019 will be published as Open Access papers.
The readers of JAPR are in education, extension, industry, and government, including research, teaching, administration, veterinary medicine, management, production, quality assurance, product development, and technical services. Nutritionists, breeder flock supervisors, production managers, microbiologists, laboratory personnel, food safety and sanitation managers, poultry processing managers, feed manufacturers, and egg producers use JAPR to keep up with current applied poultry research.
