Abstract:

Poultry required enzymes which help in feed breakdown because chicken have not enzyme for fibres break down. Enzymes which are biological catalyst composed of amino acids with minerals and vitamins. The using of enzyme have many benefits in poultry diets include not only enhanced feed conversion and bird performance but also reduced output of excreta problems of environment. The present study was undertaken in order to determine the partial replacement of sunflower meal with phytase enzyme on nutrient digestibility of broiler. Birds were arbitrarily separated in four groups, i.e. Group A (control) was offered 0 g/kg, 0.05 g/kg (group B), 0.075 g/kg (group C) and 0.025 g/kg (group D) phytase enzyme provided in broiler feed. Parameters measured were weight gains, feed intake, nutrient digestibility and Feed conversion ratio calculated. Results showed that the maximum chicken body weight was noted in group C and Feed intake was minimum in group C, as compare to other groups. Feed conversion ratio was significantly (p
