Description
Ramazan Sheikh-Nazari and two colleagues fed broiler chickens diets containing canola seed, a protein-rich feed limited by natural antinutritional compounds, and tested whether two added enzymes could restore performance. Three hundred day-old chicks were split among five diets: a standard feed, a canola feed, and canola feeds carrying a protease, a phytase, or both enzymes together.
Birds on the combined-enzyme diet matched the standard feed for growth, while canola alone dragged down digestion, gut structure, and bone strength. The enzyme pair raised digestive enzyme activity, improved gut lining shape, lowered gut content thickness, and favoured helpful Lactobacillus bacteria. The authors conclude that pairing the enzymes largely cancels the drawbacks of canola seed in broiler feed.
