Extract

Processed agro-idustrial by-products are gradually becoming important as supplemental energy sources for poultry feeding in Nigeria. Agro by-products such as wheat bran (WB) and brewer’s dried grain (BDG), on treatment with polysaccharidase enzymes have their nutritional status improved (Oldale, 1996) hence they can be used as alternative energy sources for poultry. The objective of this study was to asses the performance of broilers maintained on WB- and BDG-based diets supplemented with Roxazyme G enzyme.
