The effect of β-mannanase and β-glucanase on small intestine morphology in male broilers fed diets containing various levels of metabolizable energy

Abstract: The aim of this research was conducted to investigate the effect of interaction between dietary enzymes [β-mannanase enzyme (M) and β-glucanase enzyme (G)] and metabolizable energy (ME) on small intestine morphology in male broilers. In the present study, 160 male broilers were assigned and analyzed under a 2 3 factorial arrangement of treatments. The treatments were carried out for 21 days and chickens were subsequently slaughtered and samples of different parts of small intestine were collected for morpholog… Show more

“…However, no variation was observed in crypt depth. These results are contrary to data reported by Karimi and Zhandi (2015), who observed a greater crypt depth in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of broiler chickens fed a barley-based diet supplemented with b-mannanase. However, they also reported that the b-mannanase improved villus height in duodenum and ileum, which is in agreement with the result of the present study.…”

“…Our results agree with Wang et al (2015), who did not observe a significant difference in the histomorphological characteristics of broiler chickens due to lowering dietary energy by 100 kcal/kg, and Wickramasuriya et al (2019), who did not observe a significant impact on intestinal histomorphology by lowering dietary energy or adding enzymes. On the other hand, Karimi and Zhandi (2015) reported significant improvements in the intestinal histomorphological parameters of broiler chickens due to B-glucanase and/or B-mannanase supplementations. The reported improvement in body weight gain and FCR due to enzyme supplementation in the present study may not be related to any improvement in intestinal morphology.…”

“…From these pictures, individual lengths and widths were taken of intact villi using ImageJ (NIH, Betheseda, MD, USA). Length and width data were measured according to Karimi and Zhandi [17] in the three different segments of the intestine; proximal, middle, and distal. Villi length was measured from the tip of the villus to the luminal surface, and villi width was measured across the base of the villus at the luminal surface.…”
