energy and nutrient utilization responses of broilers fed diets supplemented with an α amylase
TRANSCRIPT
RESULTSTable 1. Ileal digestibility and total tract utilization of nutrients and energy of corn or corn-soybean meal diets supplemented with an α-amylase + β-glucanase complex for broiler chickens
CONCLUSIONSCorn-soybean meal diets supplemented with an α-amylase-β-glucanase complex had increased AMEn and IDE releases by 78 and 105 KNU/kg, respectively, whereas a maximum energy release of corn was estimated with 70 KNU/kg.

INTRODUCTIONExogenous carbohydrases such as xylanases, amylases, and glucanases have been reported to improve energy utilization and performance of broiler chickens (Olukosi et al., 2008; Vieira et al., 2015). These enzymes may improve the access of endogenous enzymes to cell contents due to hydrolysis of cell wall arabinoxylans (Kocher et al., 2003) as well as to augment endogenous amylase in young birds (Gracia et al., 2003). Decreases in endogenous amino acid losses may also contribute to the beneficial effects of amylases (Jiang et al., 2008).
OBJECTIVEEvaluate the effects of adding an exogenous α-amylase-β-glucanase complex on energy utilization, nutrient digestibility and total tract retention of corn or corn-soybean meal-based diets in broiler chickens.
1Crude protein; 2Ether extract; 3Linear or quadratic regression effects (P < 0.05).
MATERIAL AND METHODS480 slow feathering Cobb 500 male broilersExperimental diets fed from 15 to 24 d
Broilers allocated into 80 battery cages; 10 treatments with 8 replications of 6 birds
A Basal diet (Basal) had industry nutrient levels (21.0% CP, 1.15% dig. Lys, 0.86% dig. TSAA, 0.75% dig. Thr and 3,100 kcal AME/kg). A diet having corn replaced at 40% (Test) was also tested
Basal and Test diets had Celite as indigestible marker at 1% and were supplemented with 40, 80, 120, and 160 kilo-Novo α-amylase units (KNU) per kg of feed (RONOZYME® A, DSM Nutritional Products)
Excreta samples were collected from 21 to 23 d, whereas all birds were slaughtered at 24 d for ileal content collection
Data were analyzed using SAS (SAS Institute, 2009)
