“…In our study, the observed increase in egg shell quality was expected and this might be attributed to the presence of exogenous phytase (a major enzyme component of MXG ® ), which was shown to have a direct influence on the strength and thickness of egg shells in laying birds through increased utilization of calcium and phosphorus (Lima et al, 2011;Rossetto et al, 2019). In addition, Shet, Ghosh, Ajith, Awachat, and Elangovan (2018) suggested the increased phosphorus bioavailability triggered by phytate-phosphorus release as a consequence of phytase activity in the gastrointestinal tract, resulted to greater phosphorus and calcium availability needed to maintain egg weight, shell weight and shell thickness of egg producing birds.…”

A 10-week experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of enzyme complex + yeast (Maxigrain®, MXG®) supplementation of sun-dried yam peel meal (YPM) based diet of laying Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) on performance and egg quality. A total of 240, seven-weeks old quails were distributed in a completely randomize design with four dietary treatments and five replicates of 12 quails each. Diet 1 served as the control diet without YPM while diet 2, 3, and 4 contained 25, 50, and 75% YPM with MXG® supplementation (1g per kg), respectively. MXG® supplementation in YPM diets improved (p < 0.05) egg mass and feed conversion per egg. Increasing levels of YPM with MXG® supplementation did not show any effect (p > 0.05) on internal and external egg quality attributes except for eggshell weight and thickness which was higher (p < 0.05) in quails fed 75% YPM diet. It was concluded, therefore, that the utilization of YPM as an alternative dietary ingredient with MXG® supplementation can be tolerated in the diets of laying Japanese quails up to 75% inclusion level without any negative effect on productive and egg quality performance.

“…Additionally, the presence of exogenous phytase (a significant enzyme component of Maxgrain) in the diet may have had a direct impact on the strength and thickness of egg shells in laying chickens through enhanced utilization of calcium and phosphorus in this study's increase in egg shell quality (Lima et al 2011;Rossetto et al 2019). Additionally, Shet et al (2018) found that better phosphorus and calcium availability resulted from increased bioavailability of phosphorus caused by phytatephosphorus release as a result of phytase activity in the gastrointestinal tract, supporting the increase in egg shell quality in favor of the treatment group by revealing that egg-producing birds' egg weight, shell weight, and shell thickness were maintained.…”

The performance, egg characteristics and lipid profile of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) fed diets containing different levels of Maxigrain as a feed additive were investigated. A total of 225 (7 weeks) old Japanese quails weighing 235-248 g at the point of lay were allotted to 5 dietary treatments in a completely randomized experimental design with 5 replicates of 9 birds each. Dietary treatments for the entire 56 of days the feeding trial included: T1: 0 g of Maxigrain kg-1 diet, T2: 0.5 g Maxigrain kg-1 diet, T3: 1 g Maxigrain kg-1 diet, T4: 1.5 g Maxigrain kg-1 diet and T5: 2 g Maxigrain kg-1 diet. The results of the study showed that values for average daily feed intake, egg length, egg diameter, egg shape index, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, triglyceride, albumen weight, albumen height and yolk height were not affected by the treatment (P > 0.05), while dietary treatment significantly (P < 0.05) affected the values for the average daily weight gain, egg weight, egg mass, egg yolk weight and shell thickness among the treatments with T4 and T5 having the highest values of the above variables. It was concluded that T4 and T5 treatment could be safely included in the diet for improved performance in laying quail.

This paper focuses on the use of enzymes in effective and efficient poultry feed formulations. The introduction highlights the importance of good nutrition for poultry and the increasing need for innovative feed formulations due to limited availability and rising prices of feed ingredients. Enzymes are introduced as protein compounds that enhance nutrient digestion and absorption in poultry, potentially reducing feed production costs. However, their widespread use in Indonesia is still limited due to a lack of knowledge. The paper discusses the role of enzymes in poultry nutrition, including their involvement in digestion and nutrient absorption. It also emphasizes the essential nutrients required for poultry growth and development and the factors influencing their nutritional needs. The types of enzymes commonly used in poultry feed formulations, such as phytase, amylase, protease, and lipase, are explored along with their mechanisms of action. Research findings demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of using enzymes in improving nutrient availability and feed efficiency, ultimately enhancing poultry production productivity and sustainability. The paper concludes with recommendations for the development and application of enzymes in poultry feed formulations, highlighting the need for careful enzyme selection, dosage adjustment, and consideration of environmental conditions. Furthermore, the importance of integrating enzymes with other feed ingredients and adopting a comprehensive nutrition strategy is emphasized. Overall, the use of enzymes in poultry feed formulations offers significant advantages for modern poultry farming, but careful implementation and further research are necessary to optimize their effectiveness and efficiency.
