Effects of Enzyme and Organic Acid in Wheat and Corn Based diets on Performance and Intestinal Morphology of Broilers

The aim of the present experiment was to determine the effects of Grindazym enzyme (0 or 0.4 g/kg diet) and sodium butyrate (0 or 2 g/kg diet) addition in corn and wheat based diets on performance, carcass traits, and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. A total of 480 male Arbor Acres chick...

Description
Summary:The aim of the present experiment was to determine the effects of Grindazym enzyme (0 or 0.4 g/kg diet) and sodium butyrate (0 or 2 g/kg diet) addition in corn and wheat based diets on performance, carcass traits, and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. A total of 480 male Arbor Acres chickens were assigned to 8 dietary treatments, and each treatment was included 4 replicate, with 15 birds per each replicate (pen). The experiment was performed in a 2×2×2 factorial trial based on completely randomized design. At the end of experiment, 2 birds from each pen were randomly selected and slaughtered by cervical dislocation. Results showed that the type of cereal in the basal diet, the enzyme and sodium butyrate had significance (P
