Effect of Supplementation of Non-Starch Polysaccharide Cocktail Enzyme on Performance in Broiler

Abstract

The plant derived feedstuffs of poultry contains non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) include celluloses, xylans, mannans, glucans and pectins etc., which are not well digested by the broiler because of their chemical structure and endogenous enzymes insufficiency. Now days many exogenous enzymes widely used in poultry industry for better performance. The supplementation of suitable enzyme in feed enhances the nutrient utilization and performance by counteracting the adverse effect of anti-nutritional factors present in the feed components. The main cause of better performance is due to reduction in digesta viscosity, enhanced digestion and absorption of nutrients and available energy. Moreover, the response of exogenous enzymes or NSP enzymes can be variable depending upon the type of enzymes or cocktail enzyme, feed ingredients and their interactive effects. The present comprehensive review paper includes effect of cocktail enzymes supplementation and their possible mechanism of action in broiler.
