Abstract

This study was conducted for nutritional evaluation of potato meal with and without enzyme supplementation in broilers. For the growth study, 240 chicks were distributed into 6 treatments having 40 birds per treatment (4 replicates x 10 chicks in each replicate). T1 -control diet, T2- control with cocktail of enzyme @100g/q feed, T3 - 25% crude protein of maize was replaced with potato meal without enzymes supplementation diet, T4 - T3 + cocktail of enzymes @100g/q feed, T5-50% crude protein of maize was replaced with potato meal without enzymes supplementation and T6 -T5 + cocktail of enzyme @100g/q feed. Control diets fed chicks had better body weight gain and FCR as compared to 25% and 50% supplementation and better digestibility parameters, however, dressing percentage reduced at higher level of supplementation whereas blood parameters remained within the permissible limit. Enzymes supplementation had a positive effect on the growth parameters and digestibility of nutrients irrespective of level. It was concluded that from economic point of view potato meal can be incorporated during glut period up to 25% of maize protein in the diet of broiler chicken.
