Abstract:A 3 × 3 factorial study examined the performance, endogenous enzyme activities and apparent ileal digestibility of nutrients, including energy, protein, starch, dry matter, amino acids and minerals of birds fed diets containing graded levels of cottonseed meal (CSM) with or without microbial enzymes. Nine iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous diets were formulated mainly from wheat/sorghum/soybean meal. Three levels of CSM none (0%), low (5%, 10%, and 15%) or high (6%, 12%, and 18%) in the starter, grower, and finis… Show more
