| Abstract | ||
| The non-traditional dietary supplement glucose oxidase (treatment enzyme) works in broiler diets. The effects of dietary glucose oxidase supplementation on growth performance, carcass features, serum biochemical and immunological markers, and economic efficiency as a non-traditional therapy enzyme were studied in Arbor Acres plus unsexed one-day old broiler chicks (n = 1000). Twenty replicates of 200 chicks per treatment (ten chicks per replicate) were randomly assigned to five treatments. The experimental chicks were fed isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets containing 0 (control), 100, 150, 200, and 250 ppm glucose oxidase for 5 weeks according to strain management. Weekly and stage-end growth performance metrics were monitored. The carcass dressing and internal organ weight percentages were measured on day 35 by slaughtering 25 broilers from each treatment. Different blood parameters were measured. Compared to the control diet, meals with glucose oxidase did not significantly affect final body weight, average body weight growth, feed consumption, or FCR (P<0.05). However, glucose oxidase supplementation did not affect relative organ weights and carcass dressing was seen among dietary regimens. In this investigation, serum biochemical indicators showed that dietary glucose oxidase does not harm broiler chickens. The control group had the greatest MDA, TAC, WBCS, and phagocytic %, while G5 had the lowest in most parameters except TCA, WBCS, and phagocytic %. Compared to control one, group 5 fed GOX diets had the highest return, while groups 3, 4, and 5 had the highest net profit values. In conclusion, optimal glucose oxidase supplementation may boost performance. | ||
