Abstract EN
The present study was conducted to reduce phosphorus pollution from broilers waste by supplementing phytase enzyme in broilers fee.
Two hundred two-week-old broilers (Hubbard) were selected and randomly allocated to three dietary treatment groups, one control group (without phytase) and two trial groups (group A with 300 U/kg phytase and group B with 600 U/kg phytase).
Each group was composed of 5 replicates with 10 chicks.
Broilers fed the control diet (without phytase) gained weight slower (P < 0.05) than the other treatment groups.
A significant increase in body weight gain of group A (28.00 ± 2.97) and group B (29.75 ± 3.45) was observed as compared to control group (26.75 ± 2.78).
The feed intake of the birds fed the diets containing microbial phytase 600 U/kg was the highest.
Phytase significantly (P > 0.05) reduces excreta P and Ca level.
Phytase addition did not affect excreta pH.
The presence of phytase in feed mixtures significantly (P > 0.05) improves the body weight gain and feed intake of broiler chickens.
