Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of whole barley with GalyZym poly enzymesupplementation on performance and nutrient digestibility in laying hens. In this study 105 laying hens (w-36) at the age of 40 to 52 weeks were distributed randomly in 5 treatments, with 7 replication, and 3 birds in each. The experimental treatments included control diet, diets containing barley seed without enzyme, diets containing barley and Galyzym enzyme supplementation,diet containing chopped oatmeal without enzyme, diet containing chopped oatmeal and Galyzym enzyme supplementation. Effects of treatments on production and egg weight was not significant, But laying hens that fed a diet containing barley seeds (with or without enzyme supplementation), had more daily feed intake compared to the control birds (P<0.05). Effects of treatments on egg quality characteristics were not significant. Addition of Galyzym enzyme to the diets containing barley had no effect on apparent metabolizable energy of the diet, dry matter and Organic matter digestibility as well. When enzyme was added to the diets containing oatmeal,an increase of protein digestibility were observed.According toresults of this study, 50 percent of corn in corn and soybean meal based diets on can be replaced with barley grain supplemented with enzyme, without decreasing the performances and digestibility of the nutrients.
