Abstract:
An experiment was conducted on 5280 birds of 37 weeks old (WL-BV300) for 112 days (4 periods) to determine the effect of α-galactosidase supplementation to guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) meal (GM) based diets on Body weight (BW) and Serum biochemical parameters like total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL- cholesterol and triglycerides. Six experimental diets (Each treatment has 880 birds at 10 replicates of 88 birds in each) were prepared having 3% GM (3GM), 3% GM with α-galactosidase (3GME), 3% GM low (100 kcal/kg) energy (3GML), 3GML with α-galactosidase enzyme (3GMLE), 6% GM (6GMH) and 6% GM with α-galactosidase (6GMHE). Results of the experiment did not shown the effect (P>0.05) on BW and serum biochemical parameters on adding α-galactosidase enzyme at 2 IU/kg diet to toasted GM based diets in commercial layers.
