Effect of β‐xylanase supplementation of boiled castor seed meal‐based diets on the performance, nutrient absorbability and some blood constituents of pullet chicks

Abstract

β-xylanase addition improved apparent nitrogen and fibre absorption as well as feed transit time. Up to 150 g kg−1 boiled castor seed meal could be incorporated into pullet chick diets without any adverse effect on growth performance or blood constituents. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
