EFFECT OF B-GLUCANASE SUPPLEMENTTATION ON FEED CHARACTERISTICS AND NUTRIENT DIGESTIBILITY IN BOILER CHICKS FED DIETS WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF BARLEY
Keywords:
Threonine, Barley, Broiler ChicksAbstract
This experiment was conducted to study and understand the effect of threonine on performance, weight gain, feed intake, and liver enzyme activity, using 540 Ross 308 broiler chicks (of both sexes) in a completely randomized design. Nine treatments were used (three levels of threonine supplementation: zero, 10, and 20% of the strain's requirement) and (three levels of barley inclusion: zero, 5, and 10% replacing corn). The experiment was replicated four times. The experimental treatments included: 1 to 3 of the basal corn-soybean meal diet with threonine supplements of zero, 10, and 20%, and 4 to 6) the diet containing 5% barley replacing corn, respectively, with zero, 10, and 20% threonine supplements
