A pen is an experimental unit; 7 replications (pens) per treatment; 15 birds per pen.
CON, control group fed with corn-SBM diet; NC, group fed with DDGS supplemented diet; SE, group fed with 0.05% of mannanase supplemented DDGS-based diet; MC, group fed with 0.10 % of multienzyme complex (mannanase and xylanase, glucanase) supplemented DDGS-based diet.
Mean values with different superscript letters were significantly different (p < 0.05).
ADG, average daily gain; ADFI, average daily feed intake; FE, feed efficiency; SBM, soybean meal; DDGS, dried distiller’s grains with solubles.
