| dc.description.abstract | A feeding trial using 176 layers (Lohmann, 20 weeks old) were used to asses the effect of an enzyme cocktail (EC) containing carbohydrases, phytase, lipase and protease, on production performance, egg quality and income over feed cost (IOFC) for 7 weeks. The following diets were tested: a positive control (PC) diet which is a standard layer diet and a negative control diet, with less AME (60 kcal/kg) and digestible amino acid (4%) than the PC. A further two dietary treatments were formulated by supplementing each control diet with an EC. Results of the study disclosed no significant (P>0.05) effects of EC addition on PC and EC diets on egg production performance, egg classification and egg quality. Incremental net benefit analysis revealed economic advantage of EC inclusion in diet with reduced AME and digestible amino acids. | |
