Abstract :

In tropical countries like India, ruminant production systems are based on crop residues and more of agricultural byproducts rich in fibrous material which is important for salivation, rumen buffering and efficient production of rumen end products. A maximum of 65% fibrous material in the feed stuffs are efficiently digested and the remaining portion needs to be digested with products like fibrolytic enzymes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of feeding the fibrolytic enzyme mixture in dry and solubilized forms on the performance of growing lambs. One hundred lambs (11.8�±0.56 kg) divided at random into 4 groups G1, G2, G3 and G4 were supplemented with exogenous fibrolytic enzyme mixture in concentrates after 6 hours outside grazing. G1 and G2 were given 200 and 400 g of EFE per 50 kg feed in dry form; G3 and G4 were given EFE in solubilized form at 20 and 40 g per liter of water respectively. The initial and final weights (kg) were non-significant among treatments. Total weight gain (kg) was higher (P<0.05) for G4 and G2. Average daily gain (g) was highest (P<0.05) for G4 followed by G2, G1 and G3. Total weight gain (%) is 15, 7.6 and 16.5 lower (P<0.05) for G1, G2 and G3 as compared to G4. Lowest (P<0.05) FCR was observed for G4 and is in the order of G4
