ABSTRACT

Adding exogenous enzymes to poultry feed is now a very common necessity in the agricultural industry as a result of its commercial, environmental and animal benefits. Birds are mono-gastric animals, therefore, their endogenous enzymes, working alone, are unable to digest most nutrients in their corn-SBM based diets, hence the need for exogenous enzymes. These enzymes when added to poultry feed helps with the digestion of phytate or phytic acids, polysaccharides like; xylans and beta-glucans. They also allow maximum retention of nutrients required by the bird, reduce intestinal viscosity, improve faecal moisture, enhance intestina bacterial proliferation, and improve growth. In short, enzymes are
