Extract

While the efficacy of appropriate fibre-degrading enzymes in poultry diets has been well established, much less data exist to support the economic use of exogenous hydrolytic enzymes in pig diets. This trial was conducted to assess the effects of one such fibre-degrading enzyme, β-glucanase (1,3-(l ,3; 1,4)-β-D-Grocan 3(4)-glucanohydrolase, Allzyme BG), added at graded levels of 0, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm to a barley-based piglet diet, on a variety of production characteristics.
