Abstract:Objective:The goal of the current study was to investigate the impact of various concen trations of xylanase in energydeficient cornbased diets on the growth performance, carcass characteristics, nutrient digestibility, and digesta viscosity in broilers from 7 to 35 days of age. Methods: A total of 280 sevendayold Ross 308 broilers were randomly allocated to one of the five dietary treatments following a completely randomized design with 8 replicates and 7 birds per cage. The treatments were: i) positive contr… Show more
